Continental Currency Fr#CC-62 February 26, 1777 $30 PMG XF-45 GCC Green *Baltimore*

This note is a part of the “Baltimore Issue”. This issue was passed by the Continental Congress on February 26, 1777 in Baltimore. The Congress met in Baltimore from December 20, 1776 to February 27, 1777 because Philadelphia was occupied by British forces at the time. The front features an emblem of a wreath on a tomb encircled by the latin motto “SI RECTE FACIES” (If you act righteously you will be honored after death). The reverse uniquely features 2 emblems of a strong wind creating waves and a beautiful sun shining on ships at sea. The first emblem was designed by Benjamin Franklin and is encircled by the latin motto “VI CONCITATE” (Driven by force). The second is encircled by the motto “CESSANTE VENTO CONQUIESCEMUS” (When the storm dies down we will rest). Very attractive problem free note with light paper and bold ink. High eye appeal for the grade. Well deserving of the evergreen sticker from GCC.
