Trésorerie de Nouméa — the local treasury of New Caledonia — issued this emergency fractional note during the acute coin shortage that gripped French Pacific territories in the late war years. Metropolitan France had no capacity to supply subsidiary coinage to remote colonial outposts, and locally improvised paper filled the gap. These Nouméa treasury notes are among the more obscure French colonial emergency issues; most circulated hard in a small, isolated economy and few survived intact.
The four-line penal text on the reverse — threatening prosecution for counterfeiting — was a deliberate deterrent inserted by colonial authorities who had reason to worry about forgery even at this denomination.
