The front, which is in French, has the denomination, the date, the serial number and two signatures. The back, which is in Flemish, displays the denomination and the same two signatures. The note has a watermark of a Lion's head facing forward and a security thread left of center. This particular note has the serial number A532553, which is displayed four times in black on the front.

Pick Number: P 34 and is listed in the Banknote Book as B314c. Condition: The banknote is graded by PMG as Very Fine 25 and comes in a plastic holder so labeled. It has all of its details well preserved. The note has several folds both vertical and horizontal, general wrinkling, and possible tears at the right and left edge (the holder has the notation tear, but we are not certain where they are exactly). The note is also soiled with some light staining especially along the edges. The note has a small pinhole, which is difficult to see, but is there. It has no graffiti, but shows wear to the edges. The corners are intact with some rounding and bumping. Be that as it may, this is a nice example of this rather scarce note, which would make a nice addition to your collection.
