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. Seldom seen Coram note, a must have type for any colonial collector. Absolutely stunning example with crisp light paper and bold ink, exceptional eye appeal for the grade. Well deserving of the EPQ designation from PMG and gold sticker from GCC.
Signers: John Scott, John Smyth, Plowden Weston
