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. Appealing XF example with bold ink, strong embossing, and bright red signature and serial number. A staple piece for any colonial collector. Very difficult to find this nice and comment free, quality well deserving of the evergreen sticker from GCC.
