The Intendance Générale des Colonies administered French overseas territories from Versailles, and this note belongs to a colonial monetary system deliberately kept separate from metropolitan French finance. The 1788 date places it squarely in the final years of the Ancien Régime — within a year, the assignat experiment would begin reshaping French monetary thinking entirely, and colonial paper issues like this one would become administrative afterthoughts.
The livre tournois denomination persisted in French colonial accounting long after it had effectively been superseded in mainland France, which is why this note reads as tournois rather than simply livres.
