Virginia Colonial Note F#VA-78b July 17, 1775 2 Pounds - Large Size PCGS 15
This large sized Virginia bill was engraved by Henry Ashby, printed on uniface paper from copper plates. Rag paper was exhausted from the printing of small notes from the July 17, 1775 issue, so these large size notes reused leftover paper from the March 4, 1773 issue that was engraved by Ashby. Due to their large size, these bills are usually only seen folded. Despite the damage to this note, the ink is bold and it is a relatively nice example.
Signers: Philip Johnson, John Tazewell, (Countersigned Robert Carter Nicholas Treasurer on the reverse)
