Assigned against nationalized church property like all assignats, the 10 sous denomination was introduced specifically to address a shortage of small change — the kind of day-to-day coinage that had effectively vanished from French markets by 1791 as citizens hoarded metal. These petits assignats were deeply unpopular; shopkeepers refused them, counterfeiting was rampant at this face value, and the government issued successive replacement series trying to stay ahead of forgers.
Gatteaux was a medal engraver by training, and his involvement reflects how the Republic leaned on its finest die-cutters when printing infrastructure was overwhelmed.
