Luxembourg 1951 Banque Internationale a Luxembourg 100 Francs multi-stage photographic proof assembly showing early and advanced face designs with A000000 serial on front and reverse industrial vignette with dated annotations

Banque Internationale à Luxembourg 1951 - 100 Francs Multi-Stage Photographic Proof Assembly (Pick Unlisted)

The second face proof represents a significantly more advanced stage. Engraving lines are sharper and more controlled, ornamental elements are proportionally aligned, and the overall composition reflects a near-final structural balance. At this stage, functional elements are fully integrated into the design, including the placement of signatures and the introduction of serial numbering on the obverse. Read more →

Luxembourg 1956 Banque Internationale a Luxembourg 100 Francs face photographic proof in monochrome, showing allegorical portrait, three engraved signatures, and finalized layout without serial numbers on the front

Banque Internationale à Luxembourg 1956 - 100 Francs Face Photographic Proof (Pick Unlisted)

This stage follows the earlier multi-stage design development recorded on the dated 1951 proof assembly, where the face evolved from a softer and less resolved state into the mature engraved form seen here, while also transitioning from front-based to reverse-based serial numbering. By 1956, the obverse composition had been fully stabilized and prepared for printing transfer. Read more →

Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 5 Pesos with 1912 Dual-Side State and Treasury Revalidation Overprint (Pick Unlisted, Base Pick 156)

Uncirculated 1907 Banco de la República 5 Pesos note, printed by Waterlow & Sons, London, and later transformed by the 1912 Paraguayan emergency revalidation process. The note is based on the original 1907 Banco de la República 5 Pesos issue, cataloged as Pick 156, but this dual-side state and Treasury validation format appears to stand outside the standard catalog listing and is therefore best treated as Pick Unlisted, base Pick 156. The face carries the large oval state overprint “Emisión del Estado – Ley de 11 de Enero de 1912,” while the reverse bears the additional Treasury validation “Departamento de Hacienda – Junta Fiscalizadora – Cincuenta Centavos Oro Sellado – Conforme Decreto de 20 de Mayo 1912.” This dual-side structure places the note among the most historically informative forms of Paraguay’s 1912 provisional paper money.

Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 5 Pesos Issued Note (Pick 156)

The issued Pick 156 also provides the clearest visual comparison for the 1912 overprinted notes. On the single-side Pick 127 issue, the face overprint crosses the central portrait and title, visibly placing state authority over the original banknote. On the dual-side Pick Unlisted variety, the reverse overprint adds the Departamento de Hacienda and Junta Fiscalizadora layer and repeats the “Cincuenta Centavos Oro Sellado” value formula. Without the issued note, those later interventions can be misunderstood as isolated markings. With the issued note present, the full sequence becomes clear: Paraguay first had a refined Banco de la República note, then turned surviving stock into emergency state currency, and in special cases added further Treasury control.
