| Opmerkingen |
Luxembourg's dual-denomination note — face value in both francs and marks — reflects the peculiar monetary position the Grand Duchy occupied in August 1914. Formally within the Latin Monetary Union and using the Luxembourg franc, it simultaneously maintained close economic ties to Germany; when German troops occupied Luxembourg within days of the war's outbreak, the need for a currency acceptable under both systems became immediately practical.
Giesecke & Devrient's Leipzig plant produced this note for the occupying situation — the irony being that a German printer supplied the instrument by which Luxembourg nominally maintained its own state finances under German occupation.
