| Opmerkingen |
The Trésor Colonial de la Martinique operated as a quasi-governmental fiscal intermediary rather than a true central bank, with its note issues ultimately backed by the French metropolitan Treasury. This 1884 emission predates the establishment of the Banque de la Martinique by several years, placing it squarely within the transitional period when colonial currency administration in the French Antilles remained a patchwork of treasury instruments rather than formal banking circulation.
The "thin border" designation distinguishes this from a closely related type — a minor but catalogued die difference that matters for completeness. Imprimerie des Colonies, the specialist Paris printer responsible for much of France's colonial paper, produced the note for Caribbean distribution.
