Opmerkingen

When the Free French authorities needed to supply currency to territories liberated from Vichy control, existing Indo-Chinese note stocks were overstamped "B.I.C." — Banque de l'Indo-Chine — to distinguish them from notes still circulating under Japanese-occupied administration. The overprint was a stopgap, not a planned issue, and the distinction mattered politically as much as monetarily.

The underlying plate was engraved by Marguerite Dreyfus, one of the few women working at that level in the Banque de France's atelier during the war years. She signed her work "Rita."
