The notes of the March 10, 1769 issue are known as “Bettering House Money” authorized by the February 18, 1769 Act for relief and employment of the poor in Philadelphia. The 4 lowest denominations, such as this note, are smaller in size and scarcer. Printed by Hall and Sellers. Of the 30,000 9 Pence notes originally printed, only 15 examples of this note are known to exist today. Nice example with strong legibility for the grade and a rich history.
