United States Continental Loan Office - New York 4th Exchange September 18, 1781 $12 PMG 25 *Francis Hopkinson*
This is a very seldom seen note is from the Continental Loan Office of the United States. It bears the sought after signature of Francis Hopkinson, an American Founding Father and signer of the Declaration of Independence. He is also credited with designing early versions of the American Flag. Beginning in 1779 he held the office of Treasurer of the Continental Loan Office.
This note is payable to (Harmen?) Gansevoort. I could not find much on him specifically, but the Gansevoort name has a rich history in New York to this day. Additionally, these bills were usually issued to more prominent individuals. This bill is countersigned by William Yates, who was the Commissioner of the Continental Loan Office in the state of New York. The paper is watermarked "UNITED STATES 4" indicating the fourth of exchange. This bill has US Dollar denomination of $12 and the French denomination of 60 Liveres, payable in Paris. Incredible note fit for any colonial/American Revolution collection with the signature of an American great. Additionally, this note is in very difficult to find problem free condition and was previously a part of the Midnight Ride Collection known for notes with high eye appeal.
