Treasury notes for 50 francs were introduced in 1948, followed by 20 francs in 1950, whilst the National Bank continued to issue 100, 500 and 1000 francs. 5000 franc banknotes were introduced in 1971, with the 20 and 50 franc treasury notes replaced by coins in 1980 and 1987, respectively. 10,000 franc banknotes were introduced in 1992, the same year that production of the 5000 franc note ceased. 2000 franc notes were introduced in 1994, with 200-franc notes issued in 1996. While previous issues of Belgian notes were bilingual, starting with the 10000-franc notes in 1992, Belgian franc banknotes became trilingual, with the language appearing on the obverse being the main language spoken by the subject (French or Dutch) and the other two official languages (including German) on the reverse.
