This note was created by overprinting existing stock of the Banque du Congo Belge / Banque d'Émission du Rwanda et du Burundi series — a stopgap measure following Burundi's assertion of independent monetary authority. Rather than commissioning an entirely new issue, the central bank applied the new republican overprint to notes already in circulation or reserve, a practical economy common among newly independent African states scrambling to establish sovereign currency infrastructure in the early 1960s.
Thomas De La Rue handled the overprinting work in London, though the underlying note predates their sole involvement with Burundian issues.
