Commentary

Deux dates sont connues, d'alphabets identiques (A.66), pas de numérotation, deux signatures. Longtemps considérés comme des épreuves, la découverte par Christian Porcheron de billets de même type mais numérotés classe définitivement ces documents dans les faux d'époque parmi les plus exceptionnels de l'histoire du billet.
Two dates are known, with identical alphabets (A.66), no numbering, two signatures. Long considered to be proofs, the discovery by Christian Porcheron of notes of the same type but numbered definitively classifies these documents as period forgeries among the most exceptional in the history of banknotes.
