Luxembourg 1972 50 Francs color trial specimen with red SPECIMEN overprint, serial A000000, two punch holes, and signatures of Marcel Schmit and Pierre Werner, Pick 55cts

Luxembourg 1972 - 50 Francs Signature A, Color Trial Specimen (Pick 55cts)

Color trial specimen of the fifty francs note of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, representing the Signature A configuration later cataloged as Pick 55a. This example reflects the stage of production in which finalized engraving and layout were combined with experimental color application prior to approval for full issuance.

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.

Luxembourg 1982 1000 Francs color trial specimen serial A000000 13 with red diagonal SPECIMEN overprint and single punch hole, Pick 52bcts, PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

Luxembourg 1982 - 1000 Francs Color Trial Specimen Grand Duchess Charlotte (Pick 52bcts)

This example carries serial number A000000 13 in standard specimen format, with duplicated placement at left and right. A red diagonal 'SPECIMEN' overprint is applied across the central design, accompanied by a single punch-hole cancellation positioned below the central motif. These elements confirm its role as a controlled production-stage trial rather than a circulation note.
