The Trésoriers Généraux des Colonies issued notes specifically to circulate in France's overseas colonial territories, not in metropolitan France — a structural distinction that mattered enormously for redemption. The 1768 series predates the Revolutionary assignat collapse by two decades, but colonial paper had already earned deep mistrust among merchants who had watched earlier colonial card money schemes in New France implode unpaid in the 1760 liquidation.

Hand-laid paper at this date means no watermark standardization; forgery was a persistent administrative complaint across all colonial note issues of this period. Surviving examples are rare enough that condition quibbling is largely academic.
