The overprint on this note reflects a practical response to de Gaulle's 1960 monetary reform, which introduced the nouveau franc at a rate of 100 old francs to one new — except that the Caisse Centrale's overseas territories operated on their own conversion schedule, and the 1000-franc plate couldn't simply be retired overnight. Overprinting existing stock at 10 new francs was the expedient solution, bridging the gap while new designs were prepared.
Poughéon and Hourriez's work on the obverse originated with an earlier metropolitan French series; the plate was repurposed for overseas issue rather than commissioned fresh for the Caisse Centrale.
