| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | The obverse is printed in red-brown on white paper with an ornate typographic border running the full perimeter. The central text, in letterpress, reads the promise-to-pay clause in French, stating the note is payable at sight to the bearer in Assignats and at the Caisse de l'Extraordinaire, dated 'A Paris le 20 Juillet 1790,' with the denomination DEUX CENTS livres set in large bold type. A lower central vignette shows a seated allegorical figure of Justice with scales, flanked by manuscript signatures of administrators and control endorsements in the lower right quadrant. |

The Caisse d'Escompte was a private discount bank founded in 1776 under Turgot, and by 1790 it was already in its death throes — the Revolutionary government would suppress it the following year, absorbing its functions into the nascent assignat system. This 200 Livres note belongs to the bank's last operational window, issued as public confidence in private financial institutions collapsed and paper money of all kinds became politically charged.
The "1790-1973" date range in the catalog record almost certainly reflects modern auction or reference documentation, not a second issue — no Caisse d'Escompte notes were circulating in 1973.
