The Institut d'Émission des Comores had a brief operational life — it was established following the unilateral declaration of independence in 1975 and was soon superseded by the Banque Centrale des Comores after 1981. Notes issued under this authority occupy a narrow window in Comorian monetary history, during a period of considerable political instability that included a mercenary coup led by Bob Denard in 1975.

Banque de France printing for a former French territory was standard post-independence arrangement, not an anomaly. Pick 9 is the highest denomination of the series.
