Wouldn't 1950 be M C X L? The M before the L puzzles me.

This is an older book I found in my Grandma's things. As I read through the book I found that the copyright year was expressed in Roman numerals and have no idea what year they represent! The Roman numerals are m c m l. Does anyone know what numbers they represent? Thanks. Mary
