| Reverse description | Light, open design on a white substrate with purple and green guilloche border bands at top and bottom. A sequential botanical diagram of the cotton plant growth cycle, from seed cross-section through bud stages to a fully open cotton boll, runs across the centre field in fine line engraving; the inscription "COTTON FIBRES INSIDE" appears beneath the vignette. The year "2010" is reproduced in large dot-matrix numerals in the upper centre, echoing the obverse treatment, while three red security thread windows are visible along the right margin and a specimen serial number "PL 12345678" is printed in blue at upper right and lower left; the imprint "Papierfabrik Louisenthal GmbH / Edition 2010" is repeated vertically at the left edge. |

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.
