Although Dahomey only have two banknotes, I found all two signatures which should be linked to an issuer. And I saw more issuere miss an issuing entity. Hopefully I have got them all here :)

 

Could the following be added to this issuing entity?

Edit:

I mixed “ruler" and "issuer”.

Could we add something along the lines of General Goverment or Colonial Goverment for the below issuer? I know it's quite similar to what the ruler is, but I think that's neccecary in this case..?

 

For Guinea

Example: N#270421

 

For Upper Senegal and Niger

Example: N#271542

 

For French Sudan

Example: N#271541

 

For Dahomey

Example: N#201831

 

For Ivery Coast

Example: N#270783

"Goverment" or “Treassury” for this one though:

Example: N#270790

 

Senegal:

Example: N#201783

 

Guinea:

Example: N#270421

Are the signatures different for each issuer or the same for all West Africa?

They are all different. I think that's maybe because it wasn't so much a West African Bank, which issued the notes, but the local colonial goverments, in the name of the French West African colonial ruler?

Can we please split this request into smaller parts? Issuing entities also need to be created first, before signatures.

Bump.

Hi

Do you mean spliting the issuing entities or the signatures? The issuing entity should be the same for all.

I can add the signatures in another topic, but I suspect you'll like them added by country, and not all at once?

Hello!

 

I believe we have everything resolved now. I was dealing with the signatures and saw information about this issuing entity (Gouvernement Général de l’A.O.F.).

 

It has already been added, along with the subscriptions.

 

Greetings,
