Continental Currency Fr#CC-84 September 26, 1778 $40 PMG 50

$435.00

The September 26, 1778 issue featured new $50 and $60 denominations. It also marks high inflation in colonial times due to $75,000,000 in bills authorized and the release of these higher denominations. This $40 note features an emblem of an all-seeing Eye of Providence shining on 13 stars representing the colonies. This emblem is encircled by the motto “CONFEDERATION”. This emblem was designed by Francis Hopkinson, an American founding father and signer of the Declaration of Independence. The reverse features nature print of carrot leaves. Nice AU example with bold ink and an original paper tone PMG notes minor stains but I believe that is reaching... Great note for the price.

Signers: Joseph Carleton, Joseph Walter
