The bills of the March 20, 1771 Pennsylvania issue were initially passed for the purpose of defending Philadelphia, but ended up being used to fund street paving. Printed by David Hall and William Sellers on mica flake paper. in red and black ink. The Penn Arms along with pillared borders and 2 crowns denoting value (5 Shillings per Crown) can be seen on the front. The reverse features ornamental borders and nature print along with “To Counterfeit is DEATH” warning. Lovely eye appeal and choice originality on this VF note, well deserving of the Gold sticker from GCC.
Signers: Luke Morris, Isaac Cox, Daniel Roberdeau
