About this banknote

The 50 lira banknote issued in 1935 by the Bank of Italy features a design by Rinaldo Barbetti, depicting a female figure personifying Art seated on a large "L" with two putti in her arms, and the crowned Savoyard coat of arms in the upper center. The reverse side showcases a female figure representing il Disegno with a brazier and putti. This series was introduced to replace earlier designs and to reflect the artistic and political themes of the era.

A notable feature of this series is the watermark of Neptune's head with a trident, enhancing its security. The banknotes were demonetized on June 30, 1950.
