About this banknote
The National Bank of Belgium issued this 1 franc banknote in 1916 during World War I. The series was introduced at a time when metal coins were being replaced due to metal shortages. This specific issuance was signed by Auguste Jean-Baptiste Hubert Marie Serruys and Jean Jadot, key officials during the period.
The front side of the note features a portrait of Queen Louise-Marie on the left, set against a mauve design with a pink underprint. Produced by the IMP. B.N.DE.B. printing office, the note measures 83 x 50 mm and is printed on paper. It is considered very scarce today, reflecting its limited production run.
