| 备注 |
The assignat was originally a bond secured against confiscated Church property — biens nationaux seized following the Assembly's nationalization decrees of November 1789. The 500 livres denomination was aimed at large commercial transactions and property purchases, not everyday exchange. It was never intended to function as ordinary currency, and the monetary chaos that eventually followed came later, after the Republic began printing lower denominations in enormous quantities.
Gatteaux was one of the premier medal engravers of the period, and his involvement here reflects the early Assembly's genuine attempt to produce a document that looked authoritative. The watermark was among the few anti-counterfeiting measures available, and forgery was nonetheless widespread enough that the death penalty for counterfeiting was formally enacted in 1791.
