Designed and engraved by Edmund Dulac — better known as a book illustrator than a banknote artist — this note was produced in London for the Free French authorities as an Allied liberation currency, intended for use in metropolitan France following the expected landings. Dulac had already contributed to Allied propaganda work and stamp design for the exiled European governments based in London; the commission fit that broader pattern.
The series was printed well in advance of D-Day. By the time liberation began in 1944, American-produced Allied Military Currency had been designated for immediate use instead, which complicated the Trésor Central notes' introduction and left portions of the print run in administrative limbo.
