Correct me if I am wrong but I think this  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=madagascar_notgeld&r=&st=148&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=&ie=&ca=3&no=&v=&cu=&a=&dg=&i=&b=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&g=&c=&wi=&sw=  should be moved to Comoros. According to SCWPM this circulated in Comores and are different from the stamp banknotes circulating in Madagascar. 

Hello, Allexis!

 

The SCWPM will continue to be a great reference for banknotes for quite some time. =)

However, it's known that there are many inconsistencies in this catalog. We would need some other source of information that identifies this circulation period.

 

These pages were created in 2020 and have not been modified in this regard since. If you or another user can find additional information, we can reach an ideal conclusion here.

I am trying to find any information about this but everything takes me to the same conclusion, this notes circulated in Comoros. Every were I looked the answer is that this were the first notes of Comoros.  The stamps circulating as emergency notes in Madagascar look different. So because there is no evidence saying otherwise, I think we should follow SCWPM.

Hello! Let's try to clarify some points about this issue. In fact, the matter can be resolved satisfactorily! =)

 

The SCWPM, as Allexis pointed out, places these issues (postal stamps "glued" onto cardstock or something similar) under Comoros Islands. 

SCWPM, 16th Edition (2017), p.369.

These issues feature two different texts below the value on the obverse: "MADAGASCAR ET DEPENDANCES" and "MOHELI". Here at Numista, we have the issuer "Mohéli (notgeld)" within "Comoro Islands (notgeld)", which contains P#1A (50c, Moheli). 

 

Some issues with the text "MADAGASCAR ET DEPENDANCES" are already registered here on Numista as being from the issuer "Madascar (Notgeld)".

 

In this sense, it seems to me that we need to organize things and create the correct issuers for these issues. Perhaps a solution would be to create the section "MADAGASCAR ET DEPENDANCES (notgeld)" within Comores Islands (notgeld), as a sister section to "MOHELI (notgeld)". But I think we may have other possibilities.

 

Best regards,

Vladimir.

By the way: Wikipedia on Madagascar and Dependencies (which included the Comoros Islands).

This should belong to Madagscar notgeld http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/MAD/MAD-COL.htm#POSTES%20DE%20MADAGASCAR 

Notice the different design.

Hello!

 

For now, we've created the section "Comoro Islands (notgeld) - Madagascar and Dependencies" to accommodate issues from that period.

 

If any details could be improved, please let us know here. =)
