Abstract: This note presents explicit equations (up to birational equivalence over mathbbF2) for a complete, smooth, absolutely irreducible curve X over mathbbF2 of genus 50 satisfying . In his 1985 Harvard lecture notes on curves over finite fields, J-P.~Serre already showed the existence of such a curve: he used class field theory to describe the function field mathbbF2(X) as a certain abelian extension of the function field mathbbF2(E) of some elliptic curve E/mathbbF2. Although various more recent texts recall Serre's construction, explicit equations as well as a description of intermediate curves XoYoE over mathbbF2 seem to be new. We also describe explicit equations for a curve over mathbbF2 of genus 8 with 11 rational points, and for a curve over mathbbF2 of genus 22 with 21 rational points.
