New York Colonial Note Fr#NY-188 March 5, 1776 $1/3 PMG 35 *Eye Appeal*
The bills of the New York March 5, 1776 issue were similar to the September 2, 1775 issue but featured new fractional denominations such as this $1/3 note. The factional notes had smaller emblems and were printed on thick paper by Samuel Loudon. The emblem of 3 wreaths encircled by the latin motto “HIS ORNARIAUT MORI” (To be decorated with these or to die) can be seen on the reverse. Gorgeous low denomination example with incredibly bold ink, detailed boarders, and attractive eye appeal for the grade.
