The popular July 22, 1776 issue was authorized shortly after Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. Interestingly, the $1 denomination was eliminated from this issue. This $4 note features an emblem of a boar charging a spear. This 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. Solid example of this popular Continental issue despite some problems with fantastic legibility for the grade.
Signers: John Ord, William Webb
