Luxembourg 1966 20 Francs color trial specimen Pick 54cts with SPECIMEN overprint and punch holes PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

Luxembourg 1966 - 20 Francs Color Trial Specimen (Pick 54cts)

Of particular interest, the color palette bears a striking resemblance to the unissued Luxembourg twenty francs emergency series prepared in 1982. The violet-dominant engraving and pastel blue, yellow and pink guilloche work of the later Bradbury Wilkinson specimen closely echo the visual direction represented by this 1966 color trial. Produced sixteen years apart as part of separate banknote programs, the two pieces preserve a notable visual connection between the experimental 1966 palette and the later 1982 emergency issue.
