Original – A French assignat note, valued at 400 livres. The assignats were paper money issued by the National Assembly in France from 1789 to 1796, during the French Revolution. They were issued after the confiscation of church properties in 1790, because the government was bankrupt.

Reason

An absolutely beautiful 18th century note, and from France too! Very useful in the assignat article.
