France
 |
| This is currently one of two pieces of paper
money I have from post-Revolutionary era France. I know that Napoleon distrusted
paper money and preferred gold and silver coinage. Perhaps because of this
there doesn't seem to be that much of it available from 1800 on. This may
be more of a sight draft than a note, you French speakers could help by
sending a translation of the text.
The reverse has an assortment of scribbles, the large 1200 with some word crossed out beneath it. In the upper left quadrant you can see a short list but none of it is clear enough to decipher. In the left middle are a couple of numbers, again, not clear enough to make out. |
