Luxembourg 1966 20 Francs specimen Pick 54s with horizontal SPECIMEN overprint and two punch holes PMG 64 Choice Uncirculated

Luxembourg 1966 - 20 Francs Specimen (Pick 54s)

Serial number A000000 is printed in red in standard specimen format. A horizontal SPECIMEN overprint is applied across the lower center of the design, accompanied by dual punch-hole cancellations through the signature area, permanently invalidating the note for circulation. These features confirm its role as an official reference piece distributed for institutional, banking, and printing control purposes.

Luxembourg 1982 20 Francs specimen Pick 54As with multicolor design, horizontal SPECIMEN overprint and single punch hole, PMG 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated

Luxembourg 1982 - 20 Francs Specimen Unissued Series (Pick 54As)

The obverse features Grand Duke Jean in formal military attire, rendered in sharply defined intaglio engraving consistent with Bradbury Wilkinson's later production style. Compared to the 1966 De La Rue series, the engraving shows stronger contrast separation and a more controlled integration between portrait and background security elements, reflecting advances in engraving and printing methodology.
