The Domaines Nationaux assignats were backed — notionally — by the confiscated lands of the Church and the émigré nobility, a fiscal mechanism the Revolutionary government adopted in 1790 to monetize what it had seized rather than pay for directly. By 1792, confidence in that backing was already eroding badly. Overissue was systematic and deliberate, with the total assignat float reaching several billion livres within a few years of introduction.
Forgery was a serious operational problem for the entire series. The British government reportedly ran industrial-scale counterfeiting operations aimed at accelerating the currency's collapse, and domestic forgery was equally rampant. The manuscript signature on each note was one of the few individualized security elements, though its deterrent value was limited against organized production.
By 1796 the assignat had lost virtually all exchange value and was formally withdrawn.
