| Opmerkingen |
The Bank of Algeria operated under direct French Treasury oversight throughout the 1950s, and this 500 Francs issue appeared during a period of acute political stress — the Algerian War of Independence had been underway since November 1954. Notes of this series continued circulating through the transition period, remaining legal tender even as the political ground shifted beneath them.
Printed by the Banque de France's own workshops, the production quality is predictably high. Banque de France-printed colonial issues from this period are known for tight registration and consistent ink saturation, which makes condition assessment more reliable than with many contemporaneous African issues from commercial printers.
Algeria's monetary separation from France was not formalized until the creation of the Banque Centrale d'Algérie in 1963.
