This is a small Set of 2 Original French Revolution era Assignats: 1) an  ASSIGNAT DE VINGT-CINQ SOLS/25 Sols. Dated "Du 4 Janvier 1792". It is in  aUNC Condition, but with some Very Light staining at center; otherwise, o.k; and, 2) an ASSIGNAT De CINQ LIVRES/5 Livres. Dated "le 10 Brumaire l'an 2" (1793). In NIce UNC Condition/lightly toned. ...Now for some history: the French Revolution was funded by issues of paper money known as "assignats". These little promissory notes were essentially a form of "emergency" money, and were issued between 1790 and 1795. Because far too many assignats were printed--literally millions-- they became worthless. In 1795, presses were destroyed and production ceased. The assignats offered here are both early issues, the 1793 issue being from year of the infamous "Reign of Terror".  A nice decorative border surrounds each note + both notes have the usual two "blind"/embossed seals. Both are printed on fine, watermarked paper. A really GREAT set of French Revolution monetary items! Buyer pays $1.25S&H, slightly higher for Air Mail postage outside the U.S. ***Please see scan. I am showing the front sides of the notes (these notes are "uniface", i.e. printed on one side only; the back is blank). The little, tiny color "squiggles" you see in the picture are due to my scanner; this note is printed in black & white! These are REALLY Nice notes!
