The Institut d'Émission des Départements d'Outre-Mer was created in 1959 specifically to serve France's overseas departments — Réunion, Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Guyane — after the Caisse Centrale de la France d'Outre-Mer lost its note-issuing function for those territories. This 5000 Francs belongs to a series that circulated alongside the metropolitan French franc at parity, a deliberate policy choice that distinguished DOM status from the colonial franc zones.
Robert Poughéon was a Prix de Rome laureate and Académie des Beaux-Arts member; his involvement reflects the Banque de France's consistent practice of commissioning serious academic artists for high-denomination work. Engraving was split between Piel and Marliat on the obverse and Armanelli on the reverse — a division of labor typical for complex intaglio work of this scale.
The note was rendered obsolete when France decimalized in 1960, meaning this 1965-dated issue was denominated in "nouveaux francs" equivalent terms in practice, even though the face reads in old francs.
