The surrounding text, set in period typeface including long-s characters, states the bank's promise to pay the bearer one hundred livres tournois in silver coin, dated Paris, 1 January 1720, with the manuscript endorsements of the controllers Fenellon, Bourgeois, and Dureveft. |

The Banque Royale was John Law's rebranded vehicle — the original Banque Générale, nationalized in 1718 and renamed to underwrite his Mississippi scheme. By the time notes of this denomination were circulating in 1720, the entire system was in terminal collapse. Law had fled France by December of that year, and the Regency government spent years afterward trying to suppress the memory of the experiment entirely — including buying up and destroying surviving notes during the liquidation process.
That destruction campaign is why Lafaurie 26 survivors are genuinely rare. Most were redeemed at ruinous discounts or simply confiscated.
