This one is undated but checks out for 1971, they started with serial number 03C that year.   |

One of my favorite notes: 1972 French 10 Francs showing the writer Voltaire. Note how the portrait on the reverse is a mirror image of that on the obverse, a feature of this note series: Very cool note NumisRob! I like how they depicted the "obverse" and the "reverse" of that mansion. |

On the front, it's the Louvre in Paris, seen from the window of Voltaire's apartment on the Left Bank (which is now a restaurant). On the back, it's the Château de Cirey, where Voltaire lived with his mistress emilie du Châtelet for 15 years: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3...eau_de_CireyEdited by NumisRob

This note is one of my favourites, again without a date. In 1970 they had a short run of these with Fforde as a signature but not many issued before the new cashier (Page) took over in March. Only 5 million were issued with the Fforde name.   |
