| Comments |
Bradbury Wilkinson's final years as an independent operation coincided exactly with this series — the firm was absorbed into De La Rue in 1990, meaning later-dated specimens within the 1986–1993 run were technically produced under new ownership while retaining the same New Malden facilities and craft traditions. The Institut Monétaire Luxembourgeois replaced the Banque Internationale à Luxembourg as the note-issuing authority in 1983, and this note is among the first full series to carry that institutional identity from the outset.
Pit Weyer was a Luxembourgish designer, and his involvement reflects a deliberate choice to keep artistic direction domestic even while production remained offshore.
