The Banque Nationale de Belgique was established by royal decree in 1850, and this 1852 issue came remarkably early in the institution's life — the bank had barely completed its organizational framework before putting notes of this denomination into circulation. Léopold Wiener, better known as a medalist and engraver of coins at the Royal Belgian Mint, brought a die-cutter's discipline to the design work, unusual for a banknote commission of this period.
Pick 46 is scarce in any condition. Early Belgian National Bank issues suffered heavy attrition through redemption campaigns and two world wars of archival disruption.
