This category includes territorial mandates, a form of paper money issued in France during the French Revolution after the assignats. These banknotes, with a higher face value than assignats, experienced rapid devaluation due to inflation and the economic crisis of the time.
Territorial mandates differ from assignats in their design and their theoretical guarantee based on the value of national property. They feature specific motifs and signatures from the revolutionary era. Collecting territorial mandates offers a fascinating glimpse into the monetary and economic history of France during this tumultuous period.
This section includes different types of territorial mandates, classified by face value (25 francs, 50 francs, 100 francs, etc.), by type of issue, and by signatures. Collectors will find detailed information on each banknote, including high-quality images, precise descriptions of their characteristics (watermark, printing, serial number), and their historical context.
Territorial mandates, although short-lived, testify to the attempts to stabilize the finances of the French Republic. Their study allows us to understand the economic mechanisms and political issues of the revolutionary period.
