Paris Bank Decree Reverses May Bank Note Reduction
From Paris and St James's reports in late May 1720, authorities revoke the May 21 bank note reduction. The King orders Bank Bills to remain current at their prior value to ease commerce, with public notice to all. Also noted are diplomatic audiences and a proposed armistice framework affecting Sicily and Sardinia.
