<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 3879508, member: 43872"]Longshot's chart is absolutely correct. However, just as an addendum, if you are dating items such as <i>assingats</i> from the period before September 22, 1792, they will be dated from the year of Liberty, which began July 14, 1789 and the fall of the Bastille. Thus an early assignat might say, "L'an 2 de la Liberté". (Year 2 of Liberty=7/14/90-7/13/91) Such bills will have a dual impressed seal including a picture of King Louis XVI. After they deposed him and declared the Republic they restarted the calendar, as on Longshot's chart, and took the king's head off the money. They soon took it off his shoulders as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
