Paris Mint Price Decrees and Gold Silver Prohibitions 1720
The Paris Mint sets monthly livre valuations for various coins through December 1720 and forbids possession of specie after January 1925 with heavy penalties. A royal decree also blocks the import of gold and silver bullion or coinage after May, allowing only certain crowns and silver livres under existing laws. The measures trigger confiscations and fines for violators and reflect massive fiscal enforcement.
