We currently have two pages for France P#51, one printed in Paris, the other printed in Clermont-Ferrand. The only difference is whether the serial number is printed or hand-written. Surely these can be combined, an appropriate comment added and year lines used to distinguish the subtypes?

Two different types imo.

Also, the Clermont-Ferrand note has no image. I would steer away from merging a listing with a known difference (Hand-written vs printed serial number) which does not have an image, in case there are other differences which are not mentioned in the description.

Hello!

 

I fully understood the differences in emissions and perhaps, yes, the right thing to do would be to keep the records separate.

 

On the other hand, I realize that no Numista user has registered for both banknotes. It must be a rather scarce piece. Along these lines, I believe there would be no problem joining the records.

 

I would like to revisit the subject and hear more opinions. =)

We still don't have an image for the Clermont-Ferrand note and nor does Bank Note Museum. I'd still favour combining them, as that might stimulate someone to provide an image if there is a bigger difference.

We still don't have an image for the Clermont-Ferrand note…

Need to have a look for this, needs to be checked in a good catalogue on French notes.

Analyzing the context of this case, I am inclined to agree with joining P#51's records. Both have NRI = 100 (no registered users) and there are doubts regarding the issuance with a handwritten serial number. If users appear with this note for registration, we can reanalyze.

 

Can we forward it like this? Any defense still for maintaining the separation?

The records are now unified. Of course, if a user presents us with the image of the note with serial handwriting, we can reset the records.

All information that was in the French version is now available in English.
Thanks!
