FRENCH REVOLUTION MONEY 1793

/

PRICE PER SINGLE BANK NOTE. Assignat, paper bill issued in France as currency from 1789 to 1796, during the French Revolution. In December 1789, to pay its immediate debts, the National Assembly issued the assignat as a bond bearing 5 percent interest, with the recently nationalized church lands as security. By September 1790 the Assembly made the assignat into a paper currency. The initial effect of the paper currency was beneficial, stimulating economic growth and eliminating a money shortage. But a deep public distrust of paper money and the fear that the currency would be worthless if the uncertain Revolutionary regime collapsed soon caused the assignat to depreciate.The outbreak of war with the other European powers in 1792 caused a further decline in the value of the assignat. In 1796 the assignats were replaced by the mandats territoraux (land warrants) at the rate of one mandat for 30 assignats. The failure of the mandat to gain public confidence forced the Directory to return to a metallic currency (February 4, 1797). Stamped and watermarked. Watermarked. Size: 3.5″ x 3″ See other items.

/

This particularly expressive composition represents a young fighter kissing the red flag before going into battle. Above the scene is the Russian slogan: The poster combines visual elements of the Soviet Red Army with Chinese inscriptions, demonstrating the influence of Soviet revolutionary aesthetics on certain Chinese propaganda productions of the 20th century. The printing uses only red and black, the emblematic colors of communist propaganda, creating a particularly strong and immediately identifiable image. Chinese inscriptions indicate that this is a commemorative poster dedicated to the Soviet Union and World War II. This piece today constitutes an interesting historical document for collectors of political posters, revolutionary propaganda, military history or objects linked to pop.
