Identification note: Exact Pick catalog number and precise series attribution not confirmed from images; printer not explicitly shown; condition is an estimate from photos only. | Design and legends match the Banque de France 20 Francs “Pêcheur” type (fisherman at rope; reverse with three Breton women and coastal village), issued 1941–1943. The visible date 7-10-1943 places it in the 1943-dated variety commonly cataloged under Pick 100 with a 1943 suffix (c). What remains unverified are the exact signature pair(s) and any subtype/suffix assignment that may depend on signatures; therefore the suffix is given as an estimate rather than exact.
