Opmerkingen

By 1951, Banque de France was printing these high-denomination notes for a colonial currency system already under severe strain — the First Indochina War was entering its fifth year, and French authority over the region was visibly eroding. The 500 Piastres was a significant sum in daily terms, making this primarily a commercial and institutional instrument rather than anything ordinary Indochinese residents handled with regularity.

The engraving credits are unusually well-documented for a colonial issue. Marguerite Dreyfus, who signed professionally as "Rita," was one of the few women working at that level in Banque de France's engraving workshops during the postwar period.
