Identification note: Exact SCWPM Pick number/signature variety not verified from images; dimensions and printer detail beyond issuer not confirmed. | Matches Banque de France 5 Francs type with the young shepherd on front and young woman with floral motif on back; multicolor small-format wartime issue. The printed date code U.2-6-1943.U., control S.20, and serial style are consistent with the 1941–44 ‘Berger et Jeune Femme’ type listed as Pick-100. Not verified from the images are the specific signatures (Le Caissier Général / Le Secrétaire Général) and other plate/date details that distinguish the P-100 lettered subtypes, so the precise suffix cannot be confirmed.
