This 10 Francs banknote, issued in France between 1940 and 1944, is a "Solidarity Bond" from series 5.090.618. It is distinguished by its specific function and historical context.

The obverse of the banknote features a portrait of Pétain on the left. There is also a representation of two women accompanied by children.

It does not represent capital, it does not yield interest."
