Banque de France took over production of this series after the fall of France made the usual commercial printers unavailable or impractical — the plate work by Beltrand is among the more accomplished intaglio engraving applied to any colonial note of the period. Jonas, primarily known as a war artist from 1914–18, contributed designs to several Banque de l'Indochine issues during the interwar years.
The 1941 date places this note in a particularly fraught administrative moment: Indochina was under the nominal authority of Vichy France while simultaneously occupied by Japanese forces, with the colonial financial apparatus trying to maintain functionality under both pressures. Notes of this issue were printed in France but faced the practical problem of actually reaching circulation in Southeast Asia given wartime shipping conditions.
