The Banque du Congo Belge was established in 1909, the same year Belgium formally annexed what had been Leopold II's private colony. This 5 Francs note bridges the early colonial banking period and the economic disruptions of the First World War, during which supply of currency to the Congo became logistically complicated — Waterlow's London facility continued printing throughout, but distribution to Leopoldville was hardly routine.
The P#4A designation covers a decade-long span, meaning individual notes within the type can vary in date significantly. Waterlow handled the full print run without interruption, which gives the series a consistent technical quality despite the turbulent years it straddles.
