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 $6 note features a neat emblem of a beaver gnawing down a tree. This emblem is encircled by the latin motto “PERSEVERANDO” (By perseverance). The reverse features nature print of a buttercup leaf. Additionally, this note was signed by Benjamin Levy. Levy was the only confirmed Jewish signer of Continental Currency. He was the first Jewish settler in Baltimore in 1773 and had ties to the Continental Congress and helped fund Revolutionary War efforts.
Signers: Benjamin Levy, Benjamin Brannan
