New York Colonial Note Fr#NY-188 March 5, 1776 $1/3 PMG 45
Beautiful low denomination New York colonial note. Factional notes 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. PMG notes stained, but the paper appears to be toned rather than stained. Bold ink and attractive margins.
Signers: J. Woodward, Jacob Abramse
