Hello, you are right. Any chance you or anyone else knows the date range?

Martinique actualy needs two currencies, "Franc, 1855-1960" and "New Franc, 1960-1975". The second is for the overprinted notes P#37-39 which were used alongside French Antilles notes. The French franc has circulated there since 1975, see
