Luxembourg 1956 Banque Internationale a Luxembourg 100 Francs issued banknote with three signatures on the front and dual serial numbers E46 0362 and 1129362 on the back, Pick 13a

Luxembourg 1956 Banque Internationale a Luxembourg 100 Francs Issued Note (Pick 13a)

When viewed within the full design sequence of the issue, this note stands as the terminal stage of development. The earlier 1951 proof assembly documents the progressive refinement of the face design, including variations in portrait rendering, signature placement, and the presence of serial numbering on the obverse. The 1956 photographic proofs confirm the finalization of both face and back layouts, including the relocation of serial numbering exclusively to the reverse and the establishment of fixed serial positions. This issued note preserves that finalized system in its complete operational form. Read more →
