French Revolution Assignat Tray | 250-Livre Banknote Design

Fine black lettering and sweeping script reproduce a 250-livre assignat, a form of paper money issued during the French Revolution. The date printed on the design uses the French Republican calendar and corresponds to September 28, 1793. The crisp black-and-white design makes this a particularly handsome catchall for a desk or entry table.
