Municipal issue from Ville de Rouen (Deux Francs)
-
Banque de France notes in denominations including 5, 10, 100, 200 Francs, and 10 Nouveaux Francs
The notes feature classic French designs with allegorical figures, portraits, architectural scenes, and ornate typography, reflecting France’s monetary evolution from World War I through post-war reform.
