| Opmerkingen |
The Domaines Nationaux assignats were instruments of revolutionary finance, their value theoretically backed by the confiscated lands of the Church and the Crown — biens nationaux sold off to service the Republic's debts. The 100 Livres denomination was among the most heavily circulated, and the scheme's credibility depended entirely on land sales keeping pace with note issuance. They never did.
By 1791 the printing presses were already outrunning the auctions. Counterfeiting compounded the collapse — the émigré press in Britain and the Austrian Netherlands flooded France with forgeries specifically designed to accelerate depreciation and destabilize the revolutionary government. Pick 44A predates the most acute phase of that crisis, but only just.
