This $1/16 note is the lowest denomination of this scarce 1776 Rhode Island issue. Notes with denominations less than $1/2 were printed with blank backs by John Carter on thick paper. Of the 8,000 originally printed, only 16 examples are known to exist today. Wholesome F example of this desirable 1776 note from this elusive issue, a key hurdle for those trying to complete a 1776 colony set. Well deserving of the green sticker from GCC.
Signers: Thomas Greene, John G. Wanton
