Rhode Island Colonial Note Fr#RI-289 July 2, 1780 $20 PMG 45 *Nice Example*
This bill was interest bearing and payable in Spanish milled dollars. Printed by Hall and Sellers featuring a black typeface design on the front and red & black ink in the back with emblems similar to Continental Currency. Printed on “CONFEDERATION” watermarked paper. There is a guarantee signature of Jonathan Arnold on the back. Fully signed notes are worth significantly more than unsigned examples. Very appealing circulated example with an interestingly large piece of mica flake obstructing the ink on the front. PMG notes pinholes, but there are only 4 and they are un-distracting.
Signers: Metcalfe Bowler, Adam Comstock, Jonathan Arnold (Guarantee Signature)
