The May 10, 1775 issue was the very first issue of Continental currency. Printed by Hall and Sellers on course paper. This $4 note features an emblem of a boar charging a spear. The emblem is encircled by the Latin motto “AUT MORS AUT VITA DECORA” (Either death or an honorable life). The reverse features nature print of skeletonized maple fruit. Additionally, this note was signed by John Bayard, American Founding Father and member of the Continental Congress. Solid example for the grade with nice legibility.
Signers: John Bayard, William Craig
