New York Colonial Note Fr#NY-222 April 18, 1786 5s PCGS 20 *7 Known*
This very scarce late issue New York bill was receivable for taxes and redeemable by June 1800. The boarders were engraved by Peter R. Maverick and this bill was printed by Samuel Loudon. This issue was plagued by extensive counterfeiting, so it was replaced by the February 8, 1788 issue., making authentic examples such as this difficult to find. The front features extensive boarders and the New York State Arms bearing the motto “EXCELSIOR” beneath. Of the 24,000 originally printed, only 7 are known to survive today.
Signers: William Heyer, Evert Bancker
