备注

Luxembourg's postwar monetary position in 1919 was genuinely awkward. The Grand Duchy had used the German Mark as its currency during the occupation, and the new franc-denominated notes were part of a rapid effort to sever that tie and align with Belgium — a process formalized by the 1921 Belgium-Luxembourg Economic Union. That this note was printed in Leipzig by Giesecke & Devrient, a German firm, during the same year Luxembourg was extricating itself from German economic dominance is one of those quiet ironies the catalog data makes visible.

G&D had long served small European states with limited domestic printing infrastructure. Luxembourg had little choice but to go abroad, and the nearest capable printer was the obvious one.
