Wartime exigency pushed Banque de l'Indochine to print locally in Hanoi rather than rely on Metropolitan France, which was under German occupation and in no position to supply engraved currency. Phạm Ngọc Khuê's involvement as designer is notable — local artistic talent contributing to colonial currency production was hardly the norm for the period.
The notes circulated under Japanese-supervised Vichy administration, a peculiar arrangement that left the Banque de l'Indochine technically functioning until the Japanese coup of March 1945 abruptly ended French administrative authority altogether.
