| Comments |
Louisenthal's "Yvonne" series of demonstration notes serves a specific trade purpose: showing potential central bank clients what the company's substrate and security integration can do before any tender is won. This example, produced at the Louisenthal mill in Bavaria, is a substrate showcase rather than a circulating instrument — the firm being a subsidiary of Giesecke+Devrient and one of the few operations in the world that manufactures both the security paper and integrates features like the polymer window strip in a single production run.
The "Louisenthal" surname in the note's name is not coincidental — the mill town and the company share the name of the founding family.
