| Obverse description | The face is composed within an ornate typographic border with small vignettes at the corners and sides. At upper left, an oval medallion contains a classical allegorical figure seated at a writing desk; at upper right, a portrait bust of Louis XVI faces left within an oval frame inscribed with his title. The denomination XXV appears in a central panel at the top between the date law and the year of the Republic. The main text, set in letterpress, reads 'Domaines nationaux. Assignat de vingt-cinq livres, payable au porteur,' with a manuscript-style signature below. At the bottom centre, a diamond-shaped guilloche vignette encloses the numeral 25, flanked by the legal warnings against counterfeiting and the promise of reward to informers. |
