When France redenominated its currency on 1 January 1960 — dropping two zeros to create the nouveau franc — the overseas territories administered through the Caisse Centrale de la France d'Outre-Mer required an immediate bridging solution. Rather than printing new stock, existing 1000 Francs notes were overprinted "10 Nouveaux Francs" to reflect the 100:1 conversion rate, a stopgap that kept circulation functioning while purpose-designed replacement notes were prepared.
The overprint was applied by the Banque de France on notes already in inventory. Alignment varies noticeably across the series — not an error, simply the mechanical reality of a rapid official overprinting run on pre-circulated stock.
