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. Very attractive example with nice margins and an overall clean appearance besides the mounting. Bold ink and signatures with light paper.
Signers: Plowden Weston, John Smyth, John Scott
