About this banknote
The issuing authority for the 20 francs note of Saint Pierre and Miquelon in 1950 was the Caisse Centrale de la France d’Outre-Mer. This series was introduced to support the economic autonomy of the French overseas territories in the post-World War II period, aligned with the broader reorganization of colonial finances.
The front side of the banknote features a portrait of Émile Gentil, a French colonial administrator, alongside a village scene with indigenous figures and traditional huts. The back side portrays an indigenous man with a spear and landscape elements in the background. This note, with Pick number 24, was printed by the Banque de France on cotton paper and signed by André Postel-Vinay.
