Wevelghem (Wevelghem), a municipality in the province of West Flanders, where emergency paper money were issued during the First World War, dated 1914. Due to the inscriptions: MILITARY COLLECTIONS and: DELIVERED ON THE ORDER OF THE GERMAN MILITARY AUTHORITIES PAYABLE AFTER THE WAR, this issue was probably intended as compensation for funds collected by the Germans.
