Maryland Colonial Note Fr#MD-47 January 1, 1767 $6 PMG 15
The January 1, 1767 Maryland issue was the earliest governmental use of the term “dollar” as an official monetary unit in the world. Stock of the Bank of England was used to back and secure the value of this Maryland issue. The boarders of this note were engraved by Thomas Sparrow and printed by Jonas Green on thin weak paper. There were deliberate errors and secret marks present in this issue. Large nature print on the reverse, very nice example with great eye appeal for the grade.
Signers: Robert Couden, John Clapham
