Per Luc Monteret, the Decision of September 12, 1916 of the Governor General Hubert Garbit specified the issuance of "Coinage Stamps". Concretely, new postage stamps were glued by the official printing office on a strong cardboard bearing on the back a dog drawn by Mr. Turlot. Later towards the end of 1917 the dog was replaced with the more respected zebu. It was an indisputable payment system because the face values of postage stamps were official fiduciary values.
