Luxembourg 1956 Banque Internationale a Luxembourg 100 Francs back photographic proof in monochrome, showing industrial workers, machinery, and two placeholder serials 123456 without prefixes

Luxembourg 1956 Banque Internationale a Luxembourg 100 Francs Back Photographic Proof (Pick Unlisted)

Denomination inscriptions and issuer text are fully embedded within the ornamental framework, confirming that the reverse had reached a complete and stable design state by the time this proof was prepared. The proof also includes the serial number positions used in the issued note, but instead of finalized numbers, both positions are filled with placeholder numerals "123456" without alphabetic prefixes. This establishes the proof as a late production-stage reference, where numbering logic had already been fixed but variable data had not yet been assigned. Read more →

The layout is smaller than the 100 Pesos type but no less sophisticated, using dense security engraving, layered ornamental panels, and sharply defined denomination counters to create a formal and highly secure banknote design.

Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 5 Pesos with 1912 State Overprint (Pick 127, Base Pick 156)

The base design is a refined Waterlow & Sons production. The face combines black intaglio engraving, pale blue underprinting, large 5 Pesos denomination devices, a red serial number, and a dense guilloché security field. The Gothic-style Banco de la República lettering gives the note a strong institutional character, while the national emblem at center provides the ideal location for the later state overprint.

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

The design is one of Waterlow & Sons’ most attractive small-denomination Paraguayan productions. The face features a central allegorical female portrait beneath the large Banco de la República title, flanked by ornate 5 Pesos denomination panels and framed by dense black intaglio ornament. Pale blue underprinting spreads across the lower half of the note, giving depth to the security design and separating the red serial number from the engraved black border. The Serie A designation, formal promise-to-pay wording, and engraved signatures reinforce the institutional character of the original issue. Read more →
