The April 23, 1761 New Jersey series is known as the 12th War issue. These bills were used to fund the military action of the colonies in the French and Indian War. The front features state arms with red and black ink. Nature print and elaborate borders can be seen on the reverse. Only 25,000 Pounds in bills were printed in this issue and they held legal tender status until 1778. At the time they were worth their weight equivalent in silver. Printed by James Parker on course paper with red and black ink that pops. Very scarce 15 Shilling bill, of the 3,500 originally printed, only 12 are known to survive today. Appealing circulated problem free note. The quality of this example for the grade is fortified by the GCC Gold sticker. Exceptional value for the rarity.
Signers: Samuel Nevill, Thomas Rodman, A. Johnston
