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 10 crowns above and below the state arms denoting the value (5 Shillings per crown). This 50 Shillings bill was the highest denomination of the series. 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. Stunning Choice AU example with crisp light paper and strong ink and signatures. Well deserving of the EPQ designation from PMG.
Signers: James Hartley, Joseph Mifflin, Alexander Tod
