The February 17, 1776 Continental issue was unique in that is included 4 fractional denominations. This $2 note features an emblem of grain being threshed by a flail. This emblem is encircled by the Latin motto “TRIBULATIO DITAT” (Affliction improves it). The reverse features nature print of raspberry and 2 filbert leaves of different size. Additionally, this note was signed by John Williams, an American Founding Father and member of the Continental Congress. Incredible piece of history for the price point.
