    .
    On the back side is an impressive image of
    a vignette of "Lyre, horns, and flags"
    . This vignette is darkly inked, it is totally complete, and unusually well-centered on the back (which is rarely the case).
    On the front side is a bold rendition of
    a "sitting female figure holding a cornucopia"
    with the
    Latin inscription "MUTUA DEFENSIO TUTISSIMA" (Mutual defense is safest)
    .
    Very Low & bold 3-digit serial number 251 in brown ink along with the boldly written signatures of John Scott, John Smyth, and Plowden Weston.
    Newman lists a price of ,000 for an example in XF40 condition, and ,500 in CU60+ which would make an estimated catalog value of somewhere around ,250 for this note in AU53 condition. Freidberg lists a price of ,250 in AU55 condition.
    An authentic & historical item that was printed and issued during the Revolutionary War (1775-83), and a little more than 2 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in July of 1776.
