The Caisse Centrale de la France Libre was established by de Gaulle's government-in-exile in 1941 specifically to provide a functioning currency for Free French territories — a political act as much as a financial one, asserting that France still existed as a sovereign entity even as metropolitan France operated under Vichy and German occupation. These notes circulated primarily in equatorial Africa and the Pacific territories that had rallied to the Free French cause.
Edmund Dulac, the Franco-British illustrator best known for luxury gift-book editions, was an unusual choice for currency design. Bradbury Wilkinson handled the engraving and printing, as they did for numerous colonial and exile currency commissions through the war years.
