The 90 livres denomination was part of the first true assignat series, authorized by the Constituent Assembly in December 1789 and issued through the Caisse de l'Extraordinaire — a temporary body created specifically to manage the liquidation of confiscated Church properties. The assignat began as a bond secured against those biens nationaux, not as currency in the modern sense; the 90 livres face value was deliberately set high to keep early issues out of everyday retail circulation and in the hands of investors and creditors of the state.
Gatteaux, a medal engraver of genuine distinction, was responsible for the design work — his involvement was a deliberate choice to give the instrument the visual authority of an official state document rather than a commercial banknote. The watermark was among the few anti-counterfeiting measures available at the time, and it proved insufficient: forgery of assignats, including by British agents operating as state policy, became a serious problem within two years of this issue.
