New York Colonial Note Fr#NY-153 April 15, 1758 5P PCGS 20
The purpose of this early New York issue was to fund the expedition to Crown Point. Printed by James Parker on course paper. The front of this note features a serpentine column, the New York State Arms, and ornamental borders. Below the State Arms, “It’s DEATH to counterfeit this Bill” can be seen. The reverse of these bills were blank. This 5 Pound bill is much scarcer than the 10 Pound from this issue, with 4,000 originally printed and only 16 known to survive today. Wonderful early note for the price.
