Large

The large banknote albums provide a storage and preservation solution tailored to oversized banknotes, such as old French banknotes, foreign collectible banknotes, or historical issues whose dimensions exceed current standards.

These numismatic albums for large banknotes are designed to hold transparent protective pages with pockets sized to accommodate wide formats, generally exceeding 180 mm in length. Each page is made from inert plastic material, PVC-free, to ensure optimal long-term preservation of paper fibres and printing inks.

The pages for large banknotes come in different pocket configurations: one pocket per page for very large format banknotes, two pockets per page for intermediate formats. These pages are compatible with most standard ring binders used in numismatics, thanks to their universal perforation.

This category also includes complete albums comprising a binder and a set of matching pages, offering a turnkey solution for collectors wishing to organise their collection of large antique banknotes. Album covers are generally made of leatherette or rigid material, providing enhanced mechanical protection.

These supplies are aimed at collectors of historical paper money, particularly Banque de France notes prior to 1960, colonial banknotes, Central and Eastern European issues from the early 20th century, or emergency banknotes issued during world conflicts.

Choosing an album suited to the banknote format is essential to avoid folds, deformations or friction that can alter the state of preservation and thus the numismatic value of collectible pieces. The use of acid-free pages directly contributes to the preservation of pigments and paper over several decades.
