Full Version: notes???
post some scans of the notes you got. it will help with identifing.
Yeah, scans would help a lot, but I think I know what they are -
Sounds like the Luxembourg note is P-42, 20 Frang. The value in my older catalog is/was:
VG= 1.50 VF= 6.00 UNC= 65.00 Ebay Link
The Netherlands note should be P-64, 1 Gulden. The value (from my older catalog again) is/was:
VG= 0.75 VF= 4.00 UNC= 15.00 Ebay Link

The note from Luxembourg has Grand Duchess Charlotte(1896-1985) as a vignette. She became Grand Duchess after her elder sister was forced to abdicate in 1919 after the accusations of being pro-German during the occupation came to surface. Grand Duchess Charlotte was a revered monarch, and there are neat monuments to her in Luxembourg-Ville, the capital. Unlike her sister she was very nationalistic, and left the country when the Germans came again in 1940 and she was exiled to England.
Interestingly, she abdicated in 1964, in favour of her son, Jean, whom reigned until 2000 when he abdicated in favour of his son, Henri. This note reflects the popularity of this Grand Duchess.
When I was in Luxembourg a few years ago, it was kind of amazing to think of walking right up to the Grand Duke's residence, and being able to look into his home, lights on etc. Luxembourg is a fascinating country, and packs a lot of interesting sights into a small 999 sq mile country. The bridges and 14th century castles are very lovely.
