The header panel carries the inscription REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE flanking the denomination numeral 10000 in a central cartouche, with small allegorical medallions at the upper corners. The body of the note presents the assignat text in a mixture of roman and italic typefaces, with a manuscript signature and handwritten serial and series numbers at centre, and two cautionary legends in panels at the lower margin. |
