Interesting the first year of the heavy type of engraver Pierre-Alexandre Morlon in nice condition. Cornucopia is a horn of Amaltea, who according to Greek mythology bred Zeus after his birth. In mythology there was only one such horn, but for the design reasons there are two of them on the banknote, which is nevertheless is not accurate. Now Amalthea is one of the closest moons that orbits around Jupiter (Zeus). Recently the basic classification of Morlon type was introduced.
