The March 1, 1780 Connecticut issue was payable in Spanish milled silver dollars by March 1, 1784 with 5% interest. Upon redemption these notes were hole or slash cancelled. The obverse features elaborate borders and a small state seal with a hand pointing to the left. Printed by Timothy Green II on thin, light paper The reverse has neat angels in each corner of the internal border. Incredibly scarce contemporary counterfeit, likely produced by the British to tank America’s new economy. Incredibly scarce with only 3 other examples appearing in the PMG population report.
Signers: Jabez Hamlin, Elisha Williams (Forgeries)
