The Intendance Générale des Colonies issued this note for circulation in the French Caribbean colonies — most likely Saint-Domingue — at a moment when colonial finances were chronically strained and metropolitan credit increasingly unreliable. The livres tournois denomination itself was already an anachronism by 1788; France would abandon it entirely with the Revolutionary monetary reforms just a few years later, making this one of the final emissions in that unit.
De Vaivre served as Intendant of Saint-Domingue from the mid-1780s; his signature here places the note firmly within that administration's attempt to manage a paper money supply that colonists and merchants regarded with justified skepticism.
