| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Letterpress-printed note within a decorative black border composed of guilloche scrollwork, fleur-de-lis ornaments, and diamond-shaped cartouches at the sides. The central field carries the large typeset legend in a combination of roman and italic letterforms, with two oval vignette tablets at the bottom — the left inscribed 'Cinq Liv.' with the engraver's name 'GATTEAUX' below, and the right bearing the numeral '5' flanked by floral devices. A handwritten serial number and manuscript signature appear in the central area. |

The Caisse de l'Extraordinaire was not a bank but a revolutionary fiscal instrument — established in 1789 to manage the proceeds from the forced sale of nationalized Church properties. Assignats began as interest-bearing bonds backed by that confiscated land, but by the time this 5 Livres note was issued, the connection to real assets was already eroding. The government had printed far more paper than land it could sell.
Gatteaux was a medal engraver by training, which shows in the precision of the typographic work. The watermark was among the few meaningful anti-counterfeiting measures available; forgery of small-denomination assignats was nonetheless rampant by 1792.
