Commentary
Billet coursable annulé par quatre perforations et utilisé comme spécimen avec le petit numéro de caissier "95" manuscrit à l'encre de Chine au verso, en bas à droite. On rapprochera d'une manière utile cet exemplaire du n°93 de BILLETS XXIX, identique sauf sur W.2 / 381 et numéro de caissier 94 : les billets coursables transformés en spécimens étaient parfois pris dans la caisse de la banque, sans utilisation d'une série spéciale.
Current note cancelled by four perforations and used as a specimen with the small cashier's number \\\"95\\\" handwritten in Indian ink on the back, bottom right. This example can be usefully compared to no. 93 of BILLETS XXIX, identical except on W.2 / 381 and cashier's number 94: current notes transformed into specimens were sometimes taken from the bank's cash register, without using a special series

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..
