The 500 Francs Marianne banknote, dating from 1945 and identified by the letter 16L, is a testament to French monetary history. This banknote has distinctive characteristics in both its graphic design and its inscriptions.
On the front, the main motif is the head of Marianne, a creation of Dulac, wearing a Phrygian cap and positioned on the right inside a medallion. The background and borders of the banknote are adorned with complex and varied geometric patterns. The inscriptions include the nominal value "500" repeated in several places, as well as the mention "RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE". The value "CINQ CENTS FRANCS" is also written out in full. All inscriptions are written in the Latin alphabet.
The back of the banknote is characterized by a composition of elaborate geometric patterns, which cover the entire surface. The engraver of this banknote is Edmund Dulac.
This banknote, of a unitary weight, represents a nominal value of 500 francs and constitutes an artifact of the French monetary period of 1945.
