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 $10 note bears the motto “Independence”. There was a shortage of these notes due to a smallpox epidemic at the time. Nice margins remain on this example and of the 16,666 originally printed, only 9 are known to exist today.
