The "Banque des Fonds Perdus" — literally the Bank of Lost Funds — was not a real issuing institution. These notes are satirical or novelty pieces, a French tradition of fictitious banknote design used for advertising, theatrical props, or political mockery. The name itself is the joke: fonds perdus in French means both "lost funds" and, in financial terminology, a non-recoverable investment or annuity with no return of principal.
Without confirmed dating or a known printer, provenance is difficult to establish. The format falls within ranges used by French printers for commercial ephemera in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
