The 300 Francs Cérès banknote, dated November 24, 1938, is an example of French fiduciary production from the period preceding the Second World War. This banknote is distinguished by its face value of 300 francs, a significant sum at the time, reflecting its role in everyday economic transactions.
The banknote's design features Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, harvests, and fertility. This iconographic choice is relevant for France, a country whose economy was still heavily linked to agriculture in the 1930s. The representation of Ceres symbolizes abundance and prosperity, important themes in a sometimes uncertain economic context.
This 300 Francs Cérès banknote was issued by the issuing institute of France, the country's central bank. The series of this banknote is marked by the letter "W", which indicates a particularity or specific rarity within the entire set of banknotes of this denomination issued during this period. The issue date, November 24, 1938, is printed on the banknote, allowing us to precisely locate its production in time.
