The factional denominations of the March 5, 1776 New York issue, such as this $1/3 bill had smaller emblems and were printed on thick paper by Samuel Loudon. The emblem of 3 wreaths encircled by the latin motto “HIS ORNARI AUT MORI” (To be decorated with these or to die). can be seen on the reverse. Interesting Latin motto eluding to dying an honorable death. Bold ink throughout on this tougher 1776 bill.
*NOTE: This note is misattributed by PCGS, the label states NY-191 $1 but this is NY-188 $1/3
