Watch List notes:

Testbanknoten: France: beatiful famous Test Note "Echantillon BALZAC 000" printed by the Banque de France on watermarked security paper of OBERTHUR FIDUIAIRE in the typical french printing style of the 1980. This Balzac design was originally meant to be an essay for a 100 Francs banknote and was already designed in the 1970s. Later another design was chosen for the 100 Francs banknote so this design was originally an unissued banknote. Later the Banque de France used this design for use on Test Notes like this one. Completely printed with serial number and signatures, watermark at left in great crisp original condition: UNC.
