LandQart AG developed this piece as a commercial demonstration of their hybrid paper-polymer substrate — the so-called "Landqart" material, which embeds a clear polymer window directly into the paper web during manufacture rather than applying it as a surface laminate afterward. That process distinction mattered commercially: it allowed security features to be integrated into the substrate itself, a pitch aimed squarely at central banks evaluating alternatives to pure polymer or pure cotton-paper note production.
Promotional specimens like this were distributed to potential client institutions and rarely entered any public collection. Geza Kesthely handled the design work from the company's Domat/Ems facility in the Graubünden canton.
