This first banknote with the new signature is a €5 note. The printing code is the letter N, which indicates that the banknote was printed by the austrian Central Bank printingworks.

It is also the 20th run of the €5 banknote for Austria, considering its short code “N020”.

It should be noted that some €5 banknotes of the first series of banknotes (ES1), with the signature of WIM DUISENBERG, can reach a very high value on collector’s market.

The €5 banknote from Netherlands of the ES1 series – country letter P and short code G006 – is worth more than        €1 000, in UNC condition.

Another example, the french banknote of the ES1 series – country letter U and short code L006 – is worth between €120 and €140 in UNC condition.
