The Banque du Congo Belge continued operating through London during the Second World War after Belgium fell to German occupation in May 1940 — the colonial financial infrastructure, including note issuance, was maintained from exile with British cooperation. Waterlow & Sons handled the printing, as they did for numerous allied and exile governments during this period.
At 10,000 Francs, this is the highest denomination of the wartime series — a figure that speaks to the scale of transactions in the colony's mining and commodity economy rather than everyday retail use. Pick 20 survivors in any honest condition are uncommon.
