The bills of the June 9, 1780 issue were printed by Hall and Sellers in red and black ink and were redeemable in Spanish milled dollars. These bills were guaranteed by the United States and could also be exchanged for Continental Currency. The paper contains mica flake and is water-marked “UNITED STATES” in 2 lines. The border cuts were engraved by Henry Dawkins, a former British counterfeiter. This note shares the same emblems as January 14, 1779 Continental Currency. Additionally, this bill bears the signature of David Brearley, an American Founding Father and signer of the United States Constitution, adding significant value to this scarce note. Of the 12,000 originally printed, only 21 are known to exist today.
Signers: David Brearley* (Constitution Signer), Philemon Dickinson, Joseph Borden (Guarantee Signature)
