The Caisse d'Escompte was a private discount bank founded in 1776 at Turgot's initiative, but by 1789 it had become so entangled with royal finances that the Revolutionary government effectively nationalized its operations. This 1,000 Livres note was issued during the institution's final years — the Caisse was formally dissolved in 1793 as the assignat system absorbed France's entire paper money apparatus.
At this denomination, these notes circulated almost exclusively among merchants and financiers. The guilloche underprint was among the more sophisticated anti-counterfeiting measures available at the time, though French forgers were prolific during this period regardless.
