Abstract: This note presents explicit equations (up to birational equivalence over $mathbb{F}_2$) for a complete, smooth, absolutely irreducible curve $X$ over $mathbb{F}_2$ 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 $mathbb{F}_2(X)$ as a certain abelian extension of the function field $mathbb{F}_2(E)$ of some elliptic curve $E/mathbb{F}_2$. Although various more recent texts recall Serre's construction, explicit equations as well as a description of intermediate curves $XoYoE$ over $mathbb{F}_2$ seem to be new. We also describe explicit equations for a curve over $mathbb{F}_2$ of genus $8$ with $11$ rational points, and for a curve over $mathbb{F}_2$ of genus $22$ with $21$ rational points.
