The Banque de la Martinique occupied an awkward political position during the early 1940s. Following the Fall of France in 1940, Martinique came under Vichy administration, and the island's financial institutions were effectively cut off from metropolitan France and from their usual European suppliers. The ABNC contract was a wartime workaround — New York was reachable; Paris was not.
The P#21 is the high-denomination note of a series printed under those constrained circumstances, and its American manufacture was not advertised. Notes printed by ABNC for French colonial issuers during this period often show the company's characteristic fine-line lathe work in the borders.
