This 5 Shilling/4 Pence bill from the June 18, 1776 Massachusetts issue has a minimalistic typeset design with ornamental borders with various symbols throughout the note. Printed on course paper with a blank back by Benjamin Edes. Notes with denominations less than 6 Shillings are small in size compared to higher denominations. Very nice problem free example of this scarce and desirable 1776 Massachusetts issue. Scarcer denomination with only 11 examples known to exist. Incredible eye appeal on this problem free note with bold ink and signature. These rare notes are usually seen faded and fill the tough Massachusetts hole if trying to complete a 1776 thirteen colony set. Previously a part of the iconic Eric P. Newman Collection. Well deserving of the evergreen sticker from GCC.
