Details
These two pattern printings of the 100 Francs note represent advanced stages of the final emission. Colours and motifs match extensively. On the included cartons the number 0013 is given, perhaps representing the number of preliminary stages. The reverse of the detached pattern printing is interesting. Under a magnifying glass one can see structures that give important technical information concerning the printing itself.
