The April 2, 1776 North Carolina issue is unique in the fact that this issue contains 56 different varieties, the highest number of varieties of any American paper money issue. This $4 note features an elaborately engraved vignette of a sheaf of wheat. The vignettes of this issue were engraved in copper plates by Gabriel Lewyn, a goldsmith from Baltimore. Incredibly scarce, of the 10,000 originally printed only 14 are known to exist today. Strong details remain on this desirable 1776 North Carolina note.
