Commentary
Billet non signé et sans numéro de série, recto-verso sur papier non-filigrané du 5 francs bleu 1913 réalisé en 1905 mais imprimé en fond vert avec les textes en noir. Cet essai en vert n'est pas répertorié par le Docteur Kolsky dans le KM et montre que la couleur verte était envisagée dès 1905. À notre connaissance, unique et inédit.
Unsigned and unnumbered banknote, front and back on unwatermarked paper of the 5 francs blue 1913 produced in 1905 but printed on a green background with black text. This green test is not listed by Doctor Kolsky in the KM and shows that the green color was considered as early as 1905. To our knowledge, unique and unpublished

Historical background
DJIBOUTI
The opening of the Suez Canal gave the Gulf of Aden an unequaled strategic importance at the exit from the Red Sea. The English controlled Aden, the French bought Obock in 1862 while Marseille shipowners settled in Tadjoura. In 1884, a French protectorate was passed with the local potentates. The same was done with the Somali chiefs. Colonel Lagarde founded Djibouti in 1888. The capital was transferred in 1891 from Obock to Djibouti. Having colony status in 1894, the region took the name of Côte Française des Somalis in 1896.
