This New York note from the March 1776 issue was printed by Samuel Loudon on thick paper. This issue contains large emblems on the reverse, with fractional denominations having smaller emblems. This $10 bill has a gorgeous emblem of an elephant encircled by the Latin motto “PAR VIRIBUS VIRTUS” (Virtue is equal to strength). Pleasing problem free example of this popular $10 note from 1776. Much scarcer than the elephant note from August 1776. Of the 2,350 originally printed, only 20 are known to survive today.
