About this banknote
The Banque de France issued the 5 francs banknote (Pick 72) in 1927 as part of a series produced between 1917 and 1933. This series was introduced to address the shortage of metal currency during and after World War I, necessitating the issuance of lower denomination banknotes to facilitate daily transactions.
The front of the note features a woman wearing a helmet on the left side, while the back depicts a dock worker and a sailing ship. This particular note measures 135 x 80 mm and is printed in lilac color. The signatures of L. Platet and P. Strohl, who served as Le Caissier Principal and Le Secrétaire Général respectively, are present on this issue.
