North Carolina Colonial Note Fr#NC-174 August 8, 1778 $2 *Virtuous*
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 $2 note bears the motto “Virtuous Councils the Cement of States”. There was a shortage of these notes due to a smallpox epidemic at the time. Of the 25,000 originally printed, only 15 are known to exist today. Nice example.
