This French banknote has a face value of 50 francs. It was issued in 1937. The banknote belongs to the G.6303 series.

The front of the banknote features a composition where the dominant color is blue. In the center, there is a representation of Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, harvests, and fertility. She is depicted with attributes related to her role, such as ears of wheat and a floral crown. On either side of the central figure, ornamental motifs and republican symbols complete the decor. The face value, "50 francs", is indicated in words and numbers in several places on the front.

The back of the banknote adopts a similar theme, with a color palette where green predominates. There is a representation of Ceres in a slightly different graphic style from that of the front, but still accompanied by elements evoking agriculture and nature. Decorative motifs and legal inscriptions frame the composition. The face value is also repeated on the back, allowing for easy identification of the denomination.

This 1937 50 franc Ceres banknote is a testament to the iconography and symbols used by the Banque de France to represent the nation and its values at that time.
