Afrique Française Libre was the monetary authority established in 1941 to serve the Free French territories in central and equatorial Africa — the colonies that had rallied to de Gaulle after the fall of France in 1940. Issuing a distinct currency was as much a political act as an administrative one, drawing a clear line between the Vichy-controlled Banque de l'Afrique Occidentale and the territories that had refused to follow.
Bradbury Wilkinson printed the series in London under wartime conditions. The AFL currency series was short-lived; by 1944 the issuing authority had been absorbed into the Caisse Centrale de la France d'Outre-Mer, making the entire P#1–8 run a product of just a few chaotic years.
