5 Francs with Marianne, the feminine expression of France.




10 Francs with Minerve and a peasant woman on the reverse.

The Minerva one looks a bit on the strict side LOL, I do like the Marianne depiction Great notes thanks for sharing them

the peasant woman is wondering what time i'll bring her daughter home.

The peasant woman thought that she should have join her daughter together with her boyfriend at one of the downtown club. Why work so hard at the field when she can go clubbing every night. In fact, she was getting some advices from the moon which was a full moon on the 15th of the Chinese calendar.

1st of all.. the first goddess has got gorgeous bambi eyes. I could fall for a girl with big blue eyes like that anyday.

2nd of all... you guys are all wrong. The peasant woman is thinking about the sailor and wondering when he'll harbor his ship in her port.





Oh man, SM... I've been trying hard tonight not to cross the line with any of these. let's see what the other threads have in store!

One of my favorites.

There are others I want, the 100FF Merson of the 1930's, the 5000 Franc "Empire Francaise" of 1945, and the 10000 FF Genie Francaise of 1950.

I also want the 5.000 FF of 1918, but it is well out of what I am willing to pay for a banknote.
