eur📦 Included Banknotes

This premium collector's set includes the following four historical banknotes:
  • 2 Francs 1944 P-114 VF
  • 5 Francs 1944 P-115 VF
  • 50 Francs 1944 P-117 F
  • 100 Francs 1944 P-118 F

📜 History and Significance

Printed in the United States, these banknotes represent a critical geopolitical moment. Known as the "Supplemental Franc," they were prepared by the Allies under General Dwight D. Eisenhower to stabilize the French economy immediately following the D-Day landings in June 1944. Interestingly, General Charles de Gaulle famously opposed this currency, viewing it as an infringement on French sovereignty, which led to their very brief circulation period.

🎨 Design details

The design of these notes reflects their urgent wartime production. The front (obverse) features a highly distinct, minimalist typographic design with the denomination prominently displayed within an elegant geometric border, accompanied by the French Republican motto: "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité." The back (reverse) is iconic for its striking central image of the French tricolor flag, framed by ornate historical patterns. Unlike standard national currencies, these do not bear the name of a central bank, emphasizing their unique status as military issue emergency money.

CONDITION GUIDE

Gem Uncirculated

A note that is flawless, with the same freshness, crispness and bright color as when first printed. It
must be perfectly centered, with full margins, and free of any marks, blemishes or traces of handling.

About Uncirculated

A bright, crisp note that appears new but upon close examination shows a trace of very light use, such as  a corner fold or faint crease. 'About Uncirculated' is a borderline condition, applied to a note which may not be quite uncirculated, but yet is obviously better than an average Extra Fine note. Such notes command a price only slightly below a new note and are highly desirable.

Extra Fine

A note that shows some faint evidence of circulation, although it will still be bright and retain nearly full crispness. It may have two or three minor folds or creases but no tears or stains and no discolorations.

Very Fine 

A note that has been in circulation, but not actively or for long. It still retains some crispness and is still choice enough in its condition to be altogether desirable. It may show folds or creases, or some light smudges from the hands of a past generation. Sometimes, Very Fine notes are the best available in certain rare issues, and they should accordingly be cherished just as much as uncirculated notes. 

Fine

A fine note shows evidence of much more circulation, has lost its crispness and very fine detail, and creases are more pronounced, although the note is still not seriously soiled or stained.
