Commentary


Épreuve inédite de date en spécimen sans perforation par numérotation O.0 / 000 sur papier fiduciaire non filigrané. Nous n'avons jamais vu de spécimen pour cette valeur et il est possible que cette épreuve en ait tenu lieu. On doit remarquer un détail technique particulièrement intéressant, à savoir l'absence sur notre épreuve du fond de couleur jaune détecté sur le billet émis W.14/998. Ce fond de couleur a-t-il été introduit pour ces billets entre 1910 et 1913 ? Les épreuves n'en comportaient-elles pas ? Une recherche attentive sur la poignée d'exemplaires connus permettra peut-être de répondre à ces questions.
Unpublished proof of date in specimen without perforation by numbering O.0 / 000 on unwatermarked fiduciary paper. We have never seen a specimen for this value and it is possible that this proof served as one. One particularly interesting technical detail should be noted, namely the absence on our proof of the yellow background detected on the issued note W.14/998. Was this colored background introduced for these notes between 1910 and 1913? Did the proofs not include it? Careful research on the handful of known copies will perhaps allow us to answer these questions

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..
