100 Francs Banknote (Banque Internationale A Luxembourg 1968)

100 Francs Franc (Issued 1968)

The banknote depicts a man in formal dress positioned on the right side of the front face, rendered in fine black engraving against a cream background. This 1968 issue from Banque Internationale à Luxembourg represents a period when Luxembourg maintained its own currency before the introduction of the Euro. The note showcases the architectural heritage of Luxembourg City, blending portraiture with civic imagery characteristic of mid-twentieth-century European banking design. The denomination of one hundred francs reflects the substantial purchasing value this note carried at the time of issue.

On the front, the portrait occupies the right portion of the composition, engraved with precise stippling that creates depth and dimension in the facial features and hair. To the left of the portrait, an architectural vignette displays Luxembourg’s distinctive cityscape, including a modern high-rise building alongside traditional church spires with pointed Gothic towers, rendered in soft beige and grey tones. The denomination “CENT FRANCS” appears prominently in the central area in serif typography. The issuing bank name “BANQUE INTERNATIONALE À LUXEMBOURG” spans across the top in capitals. Ornamental guilloché patterns form the upper and lower borders, featuring repeating geometric designs in intricate detail. The numeral “100” appears in each corner in a decorative typeface. Serial numbers are visible, including “2 308 362” on the left and “T 2352362” on the right. Two signatures appear in the central area near the architectural imagery. The base colour palette combines cream, soft brown, and grey tones with darker ink for text and portraiture.

The reverse displays a comprehensive industrial and landscape composition rendered entirely in blue-grey tones. The left side features an industrial cityscape with factory buildings, smokestacks, and urban infrastructure depicted in detailed engraving. The right side transitions into a rural landscape showing mountains, a winding road or river, and power transmission lines characteristic of modern infrastructure. A small aeroplane is visible in the upper portion of the design. At the centre sits the coat of arms of Luxembourg, displaying the distinctive heraldic lion, rendered in red and white. The denomination “100” appears in each corner in matching ornamental typeface. The bank name “BANQUE INTERNATIONALE À LUXEMBOURG” repeats across the top. The entire reverse employs monochromatic engraving in shades of blue-grey, creating a unified industrial and national identity theme. Decorative borders using guilloché patterns frame the composition at top and bottom.
