Te Utrecht ongeldig gemaakte assignat van tien livres, serie 60, uitgegeven 16 december 1791 Possibly 1791 - 1792

This is a 10 livre assignat, an early form of paper money issued by the French government during the French Revolution. The stamp, "Faux Utrecht!" across the paper indicates this assignat was deemed invalid, possibly due to forgery or a financial downturn. The detailed illustration of the assignat’s decorative border and the text "La loi punit de mort le contrefaiseur, La nation récompense le dénonciateur" (The law punishes counterfeiters with death, the nation rewards the informer) highlights the government's concern about counterfeiting during this tumultuous period. The document, which measures 7.1 cm in height and 11.5 cm in width, serves as a historical artifact of this critical moment in French history.
