Comments

For similar note, with wide bank above portrait, see P#168b/c.

There is an error in the SCWPM regarding the P#165b (2001) issue. There is, to date, no evidence of the existence of a 2001 issue printed by François Oberthur (France). The 2001 issue appears in the catalog again as P#168a, printed by De La Rue (United Kingdom).
