The 125-franc denomination is one of the more peculiar choices in European note history — a figure that reflects the post-WWI exchange rate peg Luxembourg applied when converting German marks still circulating in the country. The value was not arbitrary: 100 marks equaled 125 francs at the official conversion rate, so this note was essentially a redemption instrument dressed as ordinary currency, issued to absorb the occupying power's money from circulation.
The irony of Giesecke & Devrient printing it in Leipzig — a German firm, in Germany, for a note designed to erase German currency — was apparently not considered an obstacle.
