| Opmerkingen |
The Jacques Coeur 50 Francs series was designed before the war but circulated almost entirely under Occupation, a detail that colors how these notes are encountered today. Heavy everyday use during the Vichy period means that worn, heavily soiled examples are far more common than clean ones — a circulation pattern driven by wartime scarcity of small denominations and the general reluctance to withdraw notes from use when replacements were uncertain.
Marguerite Dreyfus, who signed her work "Rita," was one of the few women whose engraving credits appear on Banque de France notes of the period. Her contribution to the reverse placed her alongside Jonas, who worked extensively for the bank across multiple series during the interwar decades.
