| Opmerkingen |
Printed in Hanoi during the final months of Japanese occupation, this note was produced under extraordinary duress. The Imprimerie d'Extrême-Orient had been operating under Japanese oversight since the March 1945 coup de force that dismantled French colonial administration outright — meaning these notes were being struck at a moment when the Banque de l'Indochine's own authority in the territory was effectively suspended.
Phạm Ngọc Khuê's involvement as designer marks one of the rare documented instances of a Vietnamese artist credited on an Indochinese colonial issue. The gray colorway distinguishes this from earlier 500 Piastres printings and reflects wartime ink and material constraints rather than any deliberate redesign policy.
