Commentary


Épreuve complète en noir du recto du type final sur papier non-filigrané avec la première et rarissime paire de signatures. Ce document a servi à l'élaboration de ce modèle à deux décrets ; l'essai est en noir puisque différentes couleurs seront ultérieurement utilisées selon les comptoirs. La marge porte la mention au crayon 02-1896, ce qui correspond à la date marquée sur le spécimen de cette paire de signatures. Le papier utilisé pour tirer cette épreuve est un papier assez fort, qui prend très bien l'impression et permet donc un jugement sur les plus petits détails et une présentation parfaite. La vente des archives de l'American Bank Note Company a livré de nombreuses épreuves émises par cette société - principalement durant la deuxième guerre mondiale - qui étaient faites sur ce type de papier, manifestement utilisé spécialement pour présentation. Exceptionnel.
Complete proof in black of the recto of the final type on unwatermarked paper with the first and extremely rare pair of signatures. This document was used to develop this model with two decrees; the test is in black since different colors will later be used depending on the counters. The margin bears the note in pencil 02-1896, which corresponds to the date marked on the specimen of this pair of signatures. The paper used to print this proof is a fairly strong paper, which takes the print very well and therefore allows for judgment on the smallest details and a perfect presentation. The sale of the archives of the American Bank Note Company yielded numerous proofs issued by this company - mainly during the Second World War - which were made on this type of paper, obviously used especially for presentation. Exceptional

Historical background


FRENCH INDOCHINA

French Indochina is part of the former French colonial empire, creation of the colonial administration, bringing together several territories: the protectorates of Tonkin and Annam and the colony of Cochinchina, grouped together from 1949 within the State of Vietnam, the French Protectorate of Laos and the French Protectorate of Cambodia. The Indochinese Union is created by the union of different territories of Southeast Asia colonized or passed under French protectorate during the 19th century. In the 20th century, the various Vietnamese independence movements gained in power: during the Second World War, the weakening of the metropolis and the occupation of Indochina by the Empire of Japan, put an end to the French colonial administration. March 9, 1945 (in July 1945 in Cochinchina). The power vacuum at the end of the war allows the Việt Minh, the Vietnamese independence movement led by the Indochinese Communist Party, to take over the north of the country. Attempts to reconcile and reform the status of Indochina failed and resulted in the Indochina War in 1946.. Faced with the political and military stalemate, France had to resolve to abandon Indochina, whose Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian components saw their independence recognized by the Geneva Accords of 1954, which also formalized the partition of Vietnam, like the wanted the Americans and the Chinese.
