Commentary
Cette signature semble nettement plus rare. Elle se trouve au début de l'émission avec la signature du président en manuscrit (cette signature présidentielle sera faite au tampon dans les émissions suivantes) ce que confirme le numéro de notre billet : 00005.
This signature seems much rarer. It is found at the beginning of the issue with the president's handwritten signature (this presidential signature will be stamped in subsequent issues), which is confirmed by the number of our note: 00005

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.
