| Another piece of post revolutionary paper money. Both pieces I have
are payable in Rouen, was there a shortage of gold and silver there?
I ask that because a rough translation of the main text is as follows: |
| "At sight we will pay the carrier twenty francs, in currency
of billon, coppers or clouche, during this day, as we have them recus."
|
| Silver and gold are not mentioned as you can see. At the top we
are told the office hours which appear to be daily from 9 to 2 and
4 to 6. On the bottom though it looks like we'll be closed on National
holidays and Sundays. |
