| Comments |
The dual-printer attribution here is unusual and worth noting. Oberthur Fiduciaire in France and the Polish Security Printing Works in Warsaw both contributed to this series — a split production arrangement that reflects the Banco Central's practice during this period of distributing print contracts across multiple security printers, likely for capacity and redundancy reasons rather than any single political or economic driver.
Pick 104 runs across a four-year window with no major reported design changes between dates, making year-specific attribution largely a matter of serial prefix research.
