The bills of the April 10, 1777 Pennsylvania issue were passed for the purpose of supporting the army. This note was printed by John Dunlap on paper containing mica flake. This Pence note is small in size and printed in black ink. The Penn Arms are present on the front with a ship and farming motifs. “To Counterfeit is DEATH” can be clearly read across the top of the simple but elegant reverse. Exceptional GEM example with bold ink, crisp light paper, and bright red signature and serial. This example also has a very neat watermark made up of multiple “PENNSYLVANIA” watermarks.
