The Banque de la Martinique operated under a colonial banking charter that gave it note-issuing authority across French Caribbean territories, but its circulation was always thin — the island's economy ran heavily on credit extended by sugar and rum trading houses, not banknote transactions. This 25 Francs denomination sits in the middle of a series that was progressively withdrawn as the Caisse Centrale de la France d'Outre-Mer eventually absorbed colonial monetary functions after World War II.
Émile Crosbie's engraving work on this series is among the finer examples of French colonial intaglio of the period. The combination of Cornouailles on the obverse design and Georges Duval handling the reverse was typical of the collaborative division used by French colonial printers to distribute specialized labor across a single issue.
