100 Francs

The Banque de la Réunion was one of the colonial banks established under the French imperial banking laws of the 1850s, granted the right of note issue for a single overseas territory. This 100 Francs note spans an unusually long production window — over four decades — which typically indicates the plate design was never significantly revised and successive printings were authorized by updating serial ranges rather than reissuing a new type.

Colonial French banknotes of this period were generally printed in metropolitan France, with the issuing bank's name and territory applied to plate designs that could be, and often were, recycled across multiple colonial institutions. Attributing a specific printer to this issue with confidence requires documentary corroboration beyond the face of the note itself.
