Ivory Coast is located on the West African coast and has been under French rule since the 1894. From 1895, the territories within French West Africa used common bankotes issued by Banque du Senegal. In 1917, low denomination emergency notes were issued within each territory using the same design but different colors and local colony names overprinted.
