Commentary


Nous ignorions, avec le Docteur Kolsky, qu'un tel billet puisse exister. Spécimen sur papier filigrané, portant le numéro P.1 / 001, non daté, perforation horizontale ANNULÉ. Étudié par le Dr. Kolsky dans le Trésor du Ministère des Colonies après la publication de la seconde édition de son ouvrage sur la Banque de l'Indochine. Nous n'avons jamais vu aucun billet de cette banque hors les photos des épreuves d'imprimerie dans le KM, mais un exemplaire émis est signalé dans la collection Estival..
Dr. Kolsky and I were unaware that such a banknote could exist. Specimen on watermarked paper, bearing the number P.1 / 001, undated, horizontal perforation CANCELLED. Studied by Dr. Kolsky in the Treasury of the Ministry of Colonies after the publication of the second edition of his work on the Bank of Indochina. We have never seen any banknote from this bank apart from the photos of the printing proofs in the KM, but an issued example is reported in the Estival collection.

Historical background


NEW CALEDONIA

New Caledonia was attached to the French Establishments of Oceania before becoming an autonomous colony in 1860. Overseas Territory in 1946, it chose to keep this status in 1958 and 1972. New Caledonia was discovered by Captain Cook in 1774. The French recognized the island during the Revolution. After the massacre of French sailors by the natives in 1853, France seized the island militarily and founded Noumea in 1854 under the name of Port-de-France. Until the year 1860, New Caledonia depended on the Territories of Oceania. The furthest French territory from mainland France, New Caledonia was an important penal colony between 1864 and 1896, in particular for communards, such as Louise Michel. It has significant mineral wealth, including nickel, which was used to make our coins from the half-franc to the 5-franc piece..
