France · 1920 · 10 centimes

This is a 10 centimes emergency currency stamp-money issued around 1920 by the American Dental Cabinet in Toulon, France. It was printed on laid paper and served as a substitute for official coinage during a period of economic necessity.

Such emergency currency, often called 'notgeld' in other contexts, was common in Europe during and after World War I due to shortages of official coinage and economic instability, leading local businesses to issue their own scrip.
