| Opmerkingen |
The Banque de l'Indo-Chine's 500 Francs of 1945 is one of the more geographically improbable notes in the entire French colonial series. With France occupied and the Pacific theater cutting off normal supply chains, the bank was forced to source emergency printing from Emil M. Pikovsky Ltd in Jerusalem — then still under British Mandatory Palestine. The resulting notes are technically and aesthetically rough by pre-war Indochina standards, a direct consequence of the limited facilities available.
Pikovsky was primarily a commercial printer, not a specialist security house. The absence of intaglio work is conspicuous.
