The early notes of the March 9, 1754 North Carolina issue had a minimalistic design and various seals. This early 8 Pence note features an incredibly interesting butterfly vignette. Much scarcer than higher denominations in the series. Of the 20,000 originally printed only 10 are known to exist today. Interesting backing that appears to be a contemporary news paper. These low denominations experienced a lot of handling and faced low survivability. Decent legibility remains on this affordable example.
