"Asignaat de quinze sols, 1793" is an engraved French assignat, a paper currency issued by the French government during the French Revolution. This particular note, dated 1793, was issued by Domaines Nationaux and depicts two allegorical figures representing the "Right of Man" and "Peace" flanking a central circular design featuring the denomination "15 sols". The intricate border design with decorative elements, such as floral motifs, further illustrates the artistic and political significance of this historical document. This example of French paper currency is a testament to the innovative use of graphic design during a time of social and political upheaval.
