A bare organisation letter, then the sending state's number, then CD: "U 300 CD 20" is a state's diplomats accredited to UNESCO, not to France. That leading letter is unique in the French system — no embassy plate opens with one.

## About this plate

CD DELEGATIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS, the only French series that opens with a bare organisation letter, which makes "U 300 CD 20" trivially separable from an embassy's "100 CD 20".
