| Obverse description | The face is dominated by a large central oval vignette bordered by a fine guilloche frame, within which the denomination and issuing authority are rendered in letterpress typography of varying sizes: "ASSIGNAT de cinq cents liv." in bold display type, followed by the mortgage clause and creation date in smaller script. Allegorical text panels referencing Liberty and Equality flank the oval at left and right, with the numeral "500" repeated at the corners. Border inscriptions at top and bottom carry the legal warnings against counterfeiting and the promise of reward to denouncers, all enclosed within a rectilinear ruled frame. |
