The bills from the August 8, 1778 North Carolina issue were payable in Spanish milled dollars and printed by James Davis on dark course paper. This $1/2 note bears the motto “Behold! A New World”. There was a shortage of these notes due to a smallpox epidemic at the time. This example is a beautiful mid-grade note free of problems.
