| Obverse description | Central vignette presents a classical bust of Mercury facing forward, wearing a winged helmet and adorned with a laurel branch over the right shoulder and an olive branch over the left. The denomination "50" appears at left and right, with the full legend arcing across the note identifying the issuing authority as the Trésor Français and restricting the note's validity to occupied territories. The engraving, executed by Camille Beltrand, exhibits fine intaglio line work characteristic of French Treasury military currency issues. |
