| Opmerkingen |
The Banque Nationale de Belgique was itself only founded in 1850, making this 1853 note among the earliest high-denomination issues the institution ever produced. Joseph-Pierre Braemt was the principal engraver at the Brussels Mint — his involvement here reflects the close institutional relationship between the Mint and the newly established bank during its formative years, when Belgium lacked a mature private bank-note printing trade and drew on whatever skilled engravers the state could supply.
At 1000 Francs, this was a note for wholesale merchants, notaries, and large commercial transactions — not everyday circulation. Survival rate is accordingly low; notes of this value were typically retired quickly once settled.
