The bills of the August 13, 1776 New York issue took on the same emblems and style as the March 5, 1776 issue but the death threat to counterfeiters was resumed. The $1 denomination was emitted form this issue in anticipation of $1 Continental coins being minted. This New York note was printed by Samuel Loudon on thick paper. The front has the New York Arms with “Tis Death to counterfeit” beneath. On the reverse there is an emblem depicting a beautiful vignette of the 10 commandments with a sword. The emblem is encircled by the Latin motto “LEX REGITARMA TUENTUR” (Law rules, weapons protect). Gorgeous XF example, difficulot to find this nice.
