This early 1758 bill was printed by Benjamin Franklin and David Hall. “Printed by B. FRANKLIN” can be made out along the right side of the reverse. There is a unique squirrel, elephant, and stork design at the top of the reverse. The front shows 2 crowns, each representing 5 shillings of value. This 1758 issue is much harder to find than the more common 1759 issue. Relatively nice legibility especially on the front and extremely rare with only 7 examples known to exist today.
