The banknote is the first to display a portrait of a member of the reigning Grand Ducal family. The portrait needed a few changes. Tremont had drawn the face of Grand Duchess Charlotte from the front, looking at the spectator. On the final version of the banknote, Charlotte is represented in three-quarters profile, her head turned slightly to the right. The original composition for the back of the note was generally respected. The peasant woman and a steel worker represent the two economic pillars of the country; they continued to be widely used in the iconography of Luxembourg banknotes.

One million copies of this banknote – rare nowadays – were printed in Brussels; by 1929 it had already been removed from circulation.
