About this banknote
The National Bank of Belgium issued the 50 franc banknote in 1945. This series was part of post-World War II monetary reforms to stabilize and standardize currency. Introduced in the mid-1940s, these notes followed the designs established earlier in the decade and continued into the post-war years.
The front of the Pick 106 note features a peasant woman with a sheaf and two horses at the left center, depicted in dark green on blackish green with light green and orange underprint. The reverse showcases an allegorical figure holding a sailing ship and a large cornucopia. This banknote was known for having six different signature varieties.
