The Banque Centrale de Djibouti was established in 1977 following independence from France, replacing the Banque de Djibouti et de Somalie. The 10,000 franc denomination sits at the top of the series — a high-value note in a country whose economy runs heavily on port transit fees and foreign military base revenues, meaning this note circulated primarily in commercial and government transactions rather than daily retail use.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field in this catalog entry is almost certainly a data error; no central bank from a 1977 independent state issued notes in 1945.
