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 are 3 crowns above the signatures denoting the value (5 Shillings per crown). There is redish orange ink that is impressed onto the top border and in the typeset. It is likely that a paper mache stencil was used to overlay the red ink. The orange imprint in the typeset is an XV numeral representing the 15 Shillings denomination. Crisp XF example with bold ink throughout.
Signers: Jacob Harman, Mordecai Lewis, Joseph Allen
