The May 9, 1776 Continental issue shared the same style as November 29, 1775 and was printed just months before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Printed by Hall and Sellers on course paper containing mica flake and blue threads. This $1 bill features an emblem of a weighed bowl on an acanthus plant. The emblem is surrounded by the Latin motto “DEPRESSA RESURGIT” (Though crushed it recovers). The reverse has nature print of ragweed and two willow leaves. Great eye appeal for the grade on this desirable $1 denomination with bright signatures.
Signers: Thomas Leech, Nicholas Garrison
