The fractional denominations of the February 17, 1776 Continental issue are often referred to as Fugio notes. These notes precede and share a design with the iconic 1787 colonial copper Fugio cent. The sundial rebus can be seen on the front and the linked colonies on the reverse. Both of these devices were designed by Benjamin Franklin and prepared by Elisha Gallaudet. This $1/6 bill was the lowest denomination of the series and the lowest denomination of any Continental note printed. Solid comment free VF example of this iconic note for the price.
