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 beautiful design of a lyre, horns, and flags. Very attractive example from this popular issue with nice margins, rich ink, and crisp clean paper. Seldom seen Coram note, a must have for any colonial collector. Tough to find in AU+ condition.
Signers: John Smyth, Plowden Weston, George Cooke
