1000 Francs

Roger Pfund's involvement is worth noting — the Swiss designer and engraver brought a distinctly fine-art sensibility to banknote work, and his commissions through Banque de France printing were relatively selective. The Comoros 1000 Francs belongs to a long-running series that has seen multiple signature combinations across its print life, reflecting administrative turnover within the Banque Centrale rather than any reissue of the underlying design.

The franc comorien has been pegged to the euro at a fixed rate since 1999, inheriting the earlier peg to the French franc — which is precisely why Banque de France continues to handle production decades after formal monetary ties to France loosened elsewhere.
