The Banque de la Martinique was not a central bank in any modern sense — it operated under a colonial charter and its notes circulated alongside metropolitan French currency, occupying an awkward legal position that became genuinely dangerous after 1940. When Vichy authority was established over Martinique under Admiral Robert, the island was effectively blockaded by Allied forces, cutting off resupply from France. Notes already in circulation had to stretch further and longer than intended, and the 1930 printing ran well into the war years by necessity rather than design.
Jules Piel's engraving work for the Banque de France was consistently fine, and this note reflects that standard. Serveau designed widely for French colonial issues during this period.
