Commentary
FAUX. Affaire de Barcelone (1917). Deux types de faux connus : 5F Noir et 5F Bleu. Cette fabrication n'était pas artisanale ; de nombreux participants et une fabrication en lithographie en Espagne ont permis aux faussaires d'émettre probablement plusieurs milliers de billets. L'impression est correcte, bien que manquant de netteté. La numérotation est fantaisiste, le filigrane imprimé au dos.
