| 备注 |
The Banque du Congo Belge shifted printing to Hortors Limited in Johannesburg after German occupation of Belgium severed access to the usual European security printers. The 1942 small-denomination notes were produced under wartime conditions with constrained materials, and Hortors — better known for commercial and government printing in South Africa — was a practical rather than specialist choice.
The Congo's wartime currency output from this period is often underestimated in terms of historical weight: the Belgian Congo was financing a significant portion of the Allied war effort through mineral exports, and keeping local commerce liquid with credible small denominations was a genuine logistical concern, not a routine issue.
