France · 1920 · 10 centimes

This is a green paper stamp, denominated 10 centimes, affixed to a metal disc. It features the name 'TUBECUIR' and an address in Paris, serving as emergency currency.

Issued around 1920 in post-WWI France, this 'timbre-monnaie' served as emergency currency due to a shortage of official coinage. It was issued by the Tubecuir company in Paris to facilitate local transactions.
