100 drachmas banknote (set of 17 pieces) without the 'L'

100 drachma banknotes without the L on the back... a total of seventeen banknotes (17 pieces), rare, collectible.
Condition as in photo.
The 100 drachma banknote of 1978 (featuring the head of Athena of Piraeus) was issued in two main versions, which are distinguished by the presence or absence of the letter "L" on the back.
The difference between the two versions
Without "L": This is the first issue of 1978. On the back, bottom left, there is no characteristic capital letter "L".
With "L": This is the second issue, where the "L" indicates that the banknote was printed at the I.E.T.A. (Foundation for the Printing of Banknotes and Securities) of the Bank of Greece.

Collectible Value
The version without the "L" is generally considered more interesting for collectors, although the final price depends entirely on the condition (e.g., whether it is uncirculated "UNC" or certified by entities such as PMG).
