Commentary


Cette signature semble nettement plus rare. Elle se trouve vers la fin de l'émission. Notre exemplaire porte le numéro 11752. Contrairement à ce que dit le Docteur Kolsky dans sa description de ces billets, la signature La Fay n'est pas manuscrite avec les caissiers Chanel et Soyer. Elle est au tampon mais avec un nouveau cachet, certainement réalisé sur une belle signature à la plume, complètement différent du tampon utilisé avec Poggioli et Bory. Nous voulons en voir la preuve dans la comparaison entre la signature de ce billet 11752 et celle du billet 19548 de 1 franc, portant le couple de signatures Soyer / La Fay : les deux signatures sont identiques aux patés et glissés près, ce qui est impossible pour deux signatures manuscrites.
This signature seems much rarer. It is found towards the end of the issue. Our example bears the number 11752. Contrary to what Doctor Kolsky says in his description of these notes, the La Fay signature is not handwritten with the cashiers Chanel and Soyer. It is stamped but with a new seal, certainly made on a beautiful pen signature, completely different from the stamp used with Poggioli and Bory. We want to see proof of this in the comparison between the signature of this 11752 note and that of the 19548 1 franc note, bearing the Soyer / La Fay signature pair: the two signatures are identical at the patés and slips, which is impossible for two handwritten signatures

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.
