Luxembourg 1982 1000 Francs specimen serial A000000 094 with red diagonal SPECIMEN overprint and two punch holes, Pick 52bs, PMG 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated

Luxembourg 1982 - 1000 Francs Specimen Grand Duchess Charlotte (Pick 52bs)

This example carries serial number A000000 094, presented in the standard specimen format with dual serial placement at left and right. A bold red diagonal 'SPECIMEN' overprint is applied across the central design, accompanied by two punch-hole cancellations positioned through the signature area. These combined elements-overprint, physical cancellation, and controlled serial format-firmly identify the note as a non-circulating archival specimen used for verification, approval, and internal reference.
