"Te Utrecht ongeldig gemaakte assignat van vijftig sols, serie 891, uitgegeven 23 mei 1793" is an engraving by Nicolas Marie Gatteaux, dating back to the French Revolution. The artwork depicts an assignat, a type of paper money issued during the Revolution, that was declared invalid in Utrecht. The engraving showcases the intricate design of the assignat, including the text "Assignat de cinquante sols payable au porteur" (Assignat of fifty sols payable to the bearer), which was printed on the original paper money. This piece exemplifies the artistic response to the political and economic upheavals of the late 18th century.
