FRANCE. 1st Republic. Domains Nationaux. Uncut sheet of 20 notes, showing the full printing plate. Pick A70b. AU-UNC, as 16 notes are singly CU, while 4 others have a single fold running through. This particular sheet shows two holes where the paper was spiked at top and bottom, and a numeral ‘9’ in the lower margin. A large quadrille watermark marks the placement of each register on the sheet. Each note singly shows a watermarked RF in script and a denomination below, surrounded by thickening in the paper resembling a darkened water ring left by a drinking glass. Each note also bears two embossments with the genii of the Law and Justice. Interesting!
