Abstract |
Money is one of the symbols of material wealth. From the images on modern banknotes and coins, one can study the history and culture of the people of a particular country, as well as learn about their values and traditions. The paper presents a study of the use of images and symbols in modern banknotes of European countries in circulation in 2021. The purpose of the research is a quantitative analysis of images and symbols in the design of European banknotes, using methods of mathematical statistics. This study examined 294 types of obverses and reverses of European banknotes. During the analysis, the absolute and relative frequency of occurrence of groups of images and symbols on the obverses of banknotes were calculated. The authors classified and grouped all symbols on banknotes according to common characteristics, collected statistics on the occurrence of groups of symbols on European banknotes, and displayed statistics on the frequency of use of colors in European banknotes. The study resulted in identifying the trends in the use of images and symbols in modern European banknotes. Many signs and symbols depicted on European banknotes have positive semantics; such semantics may be used in other types of design. |
