The notes of the May 22, 1777 Rhode Island issue had the primary purpose of relieving the shortage of small change currency in the colony. Printed with a minimalistic typeset design with blank backs. This $1/36 bill was the lowest denomination of the series. Incredibly scarce, of the 15,080 originally printed, only 14 are known to exist today. Interestingly large margins on this circulated note.
