The notes of the September 2, 1775 issue were payable in Spanish milled silver dollars and printed on thick paper by John Holt. This issue discontinued the warning of death to counterfeiters. There are elaborate borders throughout both sides of the note. On the reverse there is an emblem depicting a large vignette of a sheaf of wheat. The emblem is encircled by the Latin motto “ACERVUS E PARVIS GRANDIS” (Great accumulation from small things). Scarce note with only 10,000 of these $1 bills originally printed and 36 are known to survive today. Lovely VF+ example of this popular $1 denomination with eye appeal well deserving of the evergreen sticker from GCC.
