Printed in orange and multicolor tones, the reverse carries a large intaglio vignette of a male lion in profile facing right, rendered in fine detail against a savanna landscape with rocky outcroppings and a sky underprint. A decorative octagonal frame at the left center serves as a blank cartouche, while the numeral "25" appears in the upper left corner. The note is framed by a geometric border with diamond motifs at the corners. |

Afrique Française Libre was a wartime administrative fiction — a rallying designation for the French colonial territories that had rejected Vichy and aligned with de Gaulle's Free French movement. This note was issued under that authority in 1941, when the practical business of financing a breakaway colonial administration required currency fast, with whatever printing arrangements London could provide.
Bradbury Wilkinson handled the contract. The series is scarce in any condition, a direct consequence of the short-lived and geographically fragmented nature of the issuing authority.
