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 and ornamental border design with blank backs. Incredibly scarce note, of the 15,000 originally printed, only 8 are known to exist today. Immense rarity for the price point on this micro denomination note.
