The bills of the October 1, 1773 issue had the purpose of reviving the Loan Office system. Printed by Hall and Sellers with a gorgeous cast cut farm scene on the reverse and printed in red and black ink. The front features denominational pillared borders. There is one crown next to the state arms denoting the value (5 Shillings per crown). There is redish orange ink that is impressed onto the right border. It is likely that a paper mache stencil was used to overlay the red ink. Stunning Choice Uncirculated example with crisp original paper and eye appeal. Well deserving of the elusive Gold sticker from GCC.
Signers: Thomas Leech, William Crispin, James Stephens
