Topher Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I've only got about a dozen banknotes or so (mostly stick to coins), but that's one of the few that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Another one from Bulgaria - and maybe a little prettier. One side shows the poet Pencho Slaveykov ... ... and on the other side his s.o., fellow poet Mara Belcheva: Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 How about these ladies? (There's a couple nekkid ones!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
see323 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and besides maybe she has a beautiful soul. The ladies portrayed were always smiling and enjoying themselves while working in the farm. Is there a special message that the country wanted to put across to the people.

see323 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 How about these ladies? (There's a couple nekkid ones!) These are beautiful native ladies. They are so natural in their own environment. It remind me of the Balinese ladies who are naked from their waist up. You can still see them bathing in the rivers near their homes.

belg_jos Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 This is my all time favorite. She appears on several denominations, but Louise-Marie is pretty every single time! Regards Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Someone lusted her enough to want to commit her to banknotes. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and at least the women I saw in Belgium were gorgeous and nothing like the subject of the banknote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That someone was our First king, Leopold I, so when you think of it that way: 'Not bad as a first Queen for a country!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in that picture (photo?), or in the image below, she looks better IMO than on those notes. Could be the mouth or the eyes, but I don't really like the portrait on the paper money a lot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Franz_X...d%27Orléans.jpg Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San_Miguel98 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 very unflattering note. her picture and portrait is great...but the banknote designer had fun with her nose, eyes, and eyebrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I know, but it's still the best we have, so let us in our dream. bubblebusters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that her portrait looked so much better and fresher. She look tired especially her eyes as portraited in the banknotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San_Miguel98 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I know, but it's still the best we have, so let us in our dream. bubblebusters! heheh...sorry. there's no question she was beautiful in person. but the artist who transferred her image onto the banknote should be kicked in the head for not capturing that beauty in her portrait. is she the only female on belgian banknotes? heheh...i have to apologize again. before i knew any better, i used to think rene magritte was a woman. i had a few "renee" female friends, and the magritte signature looked pretty feminine to me. as for the tie...i thought maybe rene was just a butch lesbian.
