Continental Currency Fr#CC-50 November 2, 1776 $5 PMG 35
The November 2, 1776 issue was interestingly proposed to print fractional denominations but this never happened due to the fugio notes providing adequate supply. This $5 note features an emblem of a hand gathering food and bleeding due to thorn pricks. This emblem is encircled by the latin motto “SUSTINE VEL ABSTINE” (Either survive or give up). The reverse features nature print of betony and sage leaves. Very appealing example with strong paper and rich ink, near XF. Previously a part of the extensive Dr. O’Shaughnessy Continental Collection.
