The Caisse Centrale de la France Libre was established by de Gaulle's Free French administration in 1941 as a parallel monetary authority, intended to give the movement financial credibility independent of Vichy-controlled institutions. This 100 Francs was among the first notes issued under it — printed in London at a moment when the Free French controlled almost no actual French territory.
Edmund Dulac, the Franco-British illustrator best known for his book illustrations, was an unusual choice for currency work. Bradbury Wilkinson had engravers of their own, but Dulac's involvement gave the series a distinctive character that set it apart from conventional wartime emergency issues.
The series later circulated in liberated French colonial territories before metropolitan France was recovered.
