EDITORS COMMENTS
This 50 Francs banknote issued by the Banque de France in 1949 showcases the rich cultural heritage of France through its design. The front of the note features a portrait of the renowned French mathematician and astronomer, Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier (1811-1877). Le Verrier's groundbreaking work in mathematics and astronomy played a significant role in the discovery of the planet Neptune in 1846. His keen sense of calculation and observation, represented by the compasses in the design, led to the exploration of the vast universe and the expansion of human knowledge. The back of the note reveals an intriguing image of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, surrounded by mythological fish and fishes. This design commemorates the centenary of Le Verrier's discovery of the planet and pays homage to the classical mythology that has long inspired scientific inquiry. The 1940s, a time of post-war recovery and renewal, saw the issuance of this commemorative banknote. The elegant design and historical significance make it a fascinating piece of financial history, as well as a testament to the enduring connection between mathematics, astronomy, and the natural world.
