The Caisse de l'Extraordinaire was itself a revolutionary invention — a treasury created in 1789 specifically to manage the proceeds from the seizure and sale of Church properties nationalized by the Constituent Assembly. Assignats were not initially conceived as currency at all but as interest-bearing bonds backed by those biens nationaux, redeemable once the land sold. The 60 livres denomination belongs to the brief window before the Assembly abandoned the interest-bearing model entirely and forced assignats into general circulation as paper money.
Gatteaux and Lorthior's involvement placed this among the more carefully designed early issues. The watermark was a genuine anti-counterfeiting measure, though forgers — including operations run from across the Rhine with royalist backing — eventually defeated it.
