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 “Persecution the Ruin of Empires". Elaborate borders on the front and back. Death to counterfeit can be seen on the front right boarder. There was a shortage of these notes due to a smallpox epidemic at the time. Beautiful near uncirculated example with strong paper and a very clean look throughout. Very difficult to find this nice.
Signers: Jesse Cobb, Richard Cogdell
