  • Comments :

    Old fake. Old fake signatures for : DESREZ, HAURAT , POUPET. A very interesting old document.

    Very well-crafted period fakes, often made in illegal workshops, intended to deceive the population. These “assignats” circulated as real in the past. At the time, possessing and putting counterfeit money into circulation was punishable by death.
