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. Gorgeous near uncirculated example with original paper, bold ink and signatures. Choice eye appeal for the grade, well deserving of the green sticker from GCC.
Signers: Nathaniel Donnell, Jedediah Snowden
