Internationale Bank in Luxemburg occupied an unusual position in August 1914: a private commercial bank in a nominally neutral Grand Duchy, suddenly overrun by German forces and pressed into issuing emergency currency to prevent a total collapse of local commerce. The German military administration needed small-denomination notes in circulation immediately, and the existing stock of Reichsmarks was insufficient to cover daily transactions.
Pick 8 is one of several denominations the bank produced under these constrained wartime conditions. Whether the notes were printed locally or sourced through German military channels remains imperfectly documented — the bank's own records from this period are fragmentary at best.
