The Isles de France et de Bourbon — present-day Mauritius and Réunion — operated under a chronic cash shortage throughout the eighteenth century. Coin drained steadily toward trade with India and the East, leaving colonial administrators reliant on locally issued paper to keep commerce moving. These livres tournois notes were authorized under royal ordinance and circulated within the island system rather than as instruments redeemable in metropolitan France.
The tournois denomination itself was already an anachronism by 1780, formally supplanted in France by the livre de compte decades earlier, though colonial administrations continued using the old unit well past its metropolitan obsolescence. French Revolutionary currency reforms in the 1790s rendered this entire series void.
