Afrique Française Libre was a wartime administrative fiction — a rallying designation for the French colonial territories that had rejected Vichy and aligned with de Gaulle's Free French movement. This note was issued under that authority in 1941, when the practical business of financing a breakaway colonial administration required currency fast, with whatever printing arrangements London could provide.

Bradbury Wilkinson handled the contract. The series is scarce in any condition, a direct consequence of the short-lived and geographically fragmented nature of the issuing authority.
