This French banknote has a face value of 50 francs. It was issued in 1933.

The banknote features an elaborate iconographic and chromatic composition. On the obverse, we see the representation of Luc Olivier Merson, an emblematic figure of French art. The portrait is executed with a precision that highlights the distinctive features of the character. The color palette used on the obverse is dominated by hues that give the banknote an aspect that is both solemn and artistic.

On the reverse, the banknote features a complex ornamental motif, structured around allegorical symbols and references to French history. The graphic elements are arranged to create visual symmetry. The chromatic range of the reverse harmonizes with that of the obverse, while presenting nuances that allow to distinguish the two sides of the banknote.

The typography used for the indication of the face value and the legal notices is neat. The watermark, integrated into the paper during its manufacture, reinforces the security of the banknote by protecting it against counterfeiting. The dimensions of the banknote are standardized, in accordance with the standards in force at the time of its issue.

This 50 franc banknote is part of the F.12162 series, which allows it to be identified and classified within the French fiduciary production of this period. All the visual and technical characteristics of this banknote testify to the know-how of the artisans and engravers who participated in its design and realization.
