New Jersey Colonial Note Fr#NJ-187 June 9, 1780 $4 PMG 25 *David Brearley Constitution*
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. Additionally, this bill shares the same emblems as January 14, 1779 Continental Currency. This $4 example features an emblem of a boar charging a spear encircled by the Latin motto “AUT MORS AUT VITA DECORA” (Either death or an honorable life). Nice problem free example. Last but not least, this bill bears the signature of David Brearley, an American Founding Father and signer of the United States Constitution, adding significant value to this already rare bill. Brearley's signature remains bold.
Signers: David Brearley* (Constitution Signer), Philemon Dickinson, Joseph Borden (Guarantee Signature)
