Pennsylvania Colonial Note Fr#PA-169 October 1, 1773 20s PMG 55 EPQ *Eye Appeal*
The bills of the October 1, 1773 issue had the purpose of reviving the Loan Office system. Printed by Hall and Sellers with a cast cut farm scene on the reverse and printed in red and black ink. There are 4 crowns above the state arms denoting the value (5 Shillings per crown). There is redish orange ink that is impressed onto the reverse in the typeset and across the denomination. It is likely that a paper mache stencil was used to overlay the red ink. Gorgeous example with crisp paper and bold ink, especially on the reverse. Well deserving of the EPQ designation from PMG.
Signers: William Wishart, Isaac Wharton, Richard Willing
