The Banque de France issued the 10 nouveaux francs "Richelieu" banknote between March 5, 1959, and January 4, 1963, as part of the currency revaluation initiated on January 4, 1960. This revaluation introduced the "nouveau franc," equal to 100 old francs, to stabilize the French economy.
The obverse features a portrait of Cardinal Richelieu on the right, with the Palais-Royal depicted in the background. The reverse shows Richelieu on the left, accompanied by the town gate of Richelieu in Indre-et-Loire. The banknote measures 80 x 150 mm and includes a watermark of Richelieu's profile.
