The Trésor Colonial de Guadeloupe issued this note under a system that kept French Caribbean territories financially semi-detached from metropolitan France — colonial treasury notes circulated locally in place of Banque de France instruments, which were not legal tender in the islands. The 2 Francs denomination was a workhorse unit aimed squarely at day-to-day transactions in a plantation economy still adjusting to wage labor following the 1848 abolition of slavery.
P#3 is scarce. The 1884 colonial treasury series for Guadeloupe was never printed in large volume, and tropical humidity — always the enemy of low-denomination paper — claimed most of what circulated.
