Massachusetts Colonial Note Fr#MA-261 October 16, 1778 1s6d PMG 20 *Paul Revere Codfish*
This bill is known as a “codfish” note because of the codfish present at the top center of the face. The pillared face of this note was engraved and printed by Paul Revere and the pine tree reverse was printed by Thomas Fleet in Boston. Paul Revere also re-dated the face to 1778, reusing the copper plates from the original October 16, 1776 issue. Nice mid-grade example.
Signers: George Partridge
