South Carolina Colonial Note Fr#SC-155 February 8, 1779 $60 PMG 35 *Nice Example*
This February 8, 1779 $60 note was elaborately engraved by Thomas Coram of Charleston. On the front, a figure holding a cornucopia and the latin motto “MUTUA DEFENSIO TUTISSIMA” (Mutual defense is the safest) can be seen on the bottom left. The reverse of this note features a neat design of a lyre, horns, and flags. There appears to be a weak ink spot down the middle of this note, but this was a result of the printing process, not damage. Very attractive example with bold ink and light paper.
Signers: Plowden Weston, John Scott, John Smyth
