Ireland - Northern 1940 Northern Bank Limited 1 Pound issued note, Pick 178b and NR68, serial N-I/H 028711, black prefix and serial number variety, graded PMG 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated, with blue ONE counter, maritime and industrial vignette, architectural reverse, and Belfast banking identity

Ireland - Northern 1940 - Northern Bank Limited 1 Pound Issued Note, Black Prefix and Serial Number (Pick 178b / NR68)

The upper central vignette combines maritime and industrial imagery: a sailing vessel, dockside structure, industrial equipment, landscape elements, and the machinery of trade. This imagery connects the note to the commercial world served by Northern Bank Limited, including shipping, manufacturing, linen, engineering, and regional enterprise. The engraved borderwork, denomination panels, and ornamental counters continue the older visual language of private and regional banknote issue, even as the note belongs to the twentieth-century sterling banking environment of Northern Ireland.

Luxembourg 29 July 1965 20 Francs back photographic proof showing early abandoned reverse design with river boat and tree-lined bank, mounted on cardstock

Luxembourg 29 July 1965 - 20 Francs Back Photographic Proof Early Design Concept (Pick Unlisted)

Unlike the finalized reverse design-featuring the more complex valley, dam, and engineered river control structures associated with the issued Pick 54-this early concept emphasizes a pastoral scene with minimal architectural intervention. The absence of tightly integrated guilloche framing and reduced ornamental precision indicate that the reverse design had not yet reached its final technical configuration.

Luxembourg 100 Francs back photographic proof showing early composition study of bridge motif, mounted on cardstock, Pick Unlisted, PCGS 63 Choice New

Luxembourg Undated - 100 Francs Back Photographic Proof, Composition Study (Pick Unlisted)

The central vignette depicts the same bridge motif later used in the issued design, but rendered from a more distant viewpoint and within a broader spatial framework. This variation reflects an intermediate stage in which composition, scale, and visual balance were actively refined. The change in perspective demonstrates how designers adjusted scene depth and framing to achieve optimal clarity and integration with denomination and border elements.
