Technical demonstration banknote produced by the German security printer Giesecke & Devrient around 2005, with the internal name "Marie Königin von Bayern" (Marie, Queen of Bavaria), uncirculated. It is not legal tender in any country and does not have a Pick catalog number: it is a commercial print used to show central banks the printing techniques and security features of the issuing house.

The chosen motif refers to Marie of Prussia, Queen Consort of Bavaria as the wife of King Maximilian II, a 19th-century historical figure used here only as a graphic pretext to exhibit resources such as intaglio printing, microprinting, or security inks, without relation to any real monetary issue.

This type of test banknote, with no face value or legal tender, attracts specialized collectors interested in security printing technology rather than the monetary history of a country.

“I bought a lot of old Zaire/Congo banknotes from Iberoamericana Banknotes and I'm delighted. The purchase was easy, they arrived in record time, the product is in impeccable condition, and the service was very professional. Highly recommended for any serious numismatist.”

“My experience with Iberoamericana Banknotes has been excellent: guaranteed authenticity, personalized advice, and a very wide selection of banknotes from rare countries. I bought a rare Rwandan banknote with a certificate, and it exceeded my expectations.”
