Description and research notes
Issued ten francs note of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, dated 20 MARS 1967, representing the final circulation form of the series following completion of the design and production phases documented by earlier photographic proofs and specimen issues. This example reflects the fully realized execution of the note as released for public use.
The note carries serial number A020076 in dual red placement, consistent with standard production format. The obverse features the portrait of Grand Duke Jean in its finalized proportion and position, integrated within a structured guilloche framework. Typography and denomination placement are fully resolved, with "DIX FRANCS" aligned precisely within the ornamental system.
The reverse presents the completed architectural and landscape composition, incorporating bridge structures and urban elements within a balanced and mechanically optimized layout. The spatial hierarchy and tonal execution reflect the final engraved and printed state prepared for circulation.
The printed date "20 MARS 1967" appears within the design, corresponding to the formal issue of the note. Unlike specimen examples, this issued form carries no overprint or cancellation, representing the standard currency as placed into circulation.
Within the broader Luxembourg collection, this note represents the culmination of the design and production sequence, following the finalized photographic proofs and controlled specimen releases. It serves as the definitive circulating form of the ten francs denomination within this series.
The note is preserved in Gem Uncirculated condition with Exceptional Paper Quality designation, encapsulated by Paper Money Guaranty, retaining full originality, sharp detail, and strong color.
