This small size July 17, 1775 note was printed on thick rag paper containing blue threads. The engraving and printing of these notes were done by William Waddill and Robert Scot. Scot went on to be the first engraver at the first U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. The state arms and detailed borders of this note are present on the front. This 2 Shilling, 6 Pence note has incredibly bold printing and a more interesting design than some of the other small size notes from this issue. Neat contemporary sewing a the top and bottom of center showing the great lengths colonists went to keep these notes in circulation.
Signers: Henry King
