The Territoire Français des Afars et des Issas was the transitional name for what became Djibouti in 1977, and this note sits squarely in that uncertain interlude — after the territory was renamed from French Somaliland in 1967 but before independence. The Trésor Public, rather than a dedicated central bank, issued the currency, reflecting Paris's direct administrative grip on the territory's finances in these final colonial years.
Hérouard and Poilliot were both established engravers at the Banque de France atelier, which handled the full production run in Paris. Lambert's design credit is relatively uncommon for this series — she contributed to several French overseas territory issues during the 1970s.
