This is a small Set of 2 Original French Revolution era Assignats: 1) an  ASSIGNAT DE CINQUANTE SOLS/50 Sols. Dated "Du 23 Mai 1793". It is in Nice UNC Condition; and, 2) an ASSIGNAT De CINQ LIVRES/5 Livres. Dated "le 10 Brumaire l'an 2" (1793). Also in 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 from 1793, 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!
