| Opmerkingen |
The Belgian Treasury, rather than the National Bank, issued this note — an arrangement that persisted for small denominations because the National Bank held no mandate to circulate notes below 50 francs. The Treasury series effectively functioned as the state's answer to coin shortages, filling a gap the banking system was not structured to fill.
De Cuyper's engraving work was done in-house at the Banque Nationale's own printing facility — an unusual convergence of a Treasury obligation produced entirely within a central bank's infrastructure.
