The April 10, 1774 Maryland issue was printed on thin paper with mica flakes throughout. An impressive large nature print and “Tis Death to Counterfeit” can be seen on the reverse. This note was printed by Anne Catherine Green (only woman credited with printing colonial currency) and Frederick Green. “Printed by A.C. and F. GREEN” can be seen along the bottom edge of the reverse nature print. Secret marks are present in this issue as an anti-counterfeiting measure. Fantastic eye appeal for the grade on this VF example with light paper and strong ink.
Signers: John Clapham, William Eddis
