| Opmerkingen |
By 1942, the Banque de la Guadeloupe was operating under Vichy-controlled administration, but U.S. naval pressure and the broader Free French realignment in the Caribbean created acute monetary uncertainty across the French Antilles. Having notes produced by E. A. Wright in Philadelphia — an American security printer better known for corporate bonds and stock certificates than colonial currency — reflects how thoroughly normal supply chains had broken down. London and Paris were simply not viable options.
Two "Directeur" signatures rather than a Directeur and a Censeur pairing is worth noting for authentication purposes.
