Add this well preserved Pennsylvania 50 shillings note to your cart today!
This sheet will make a great addition to any colonial currency collection. Colonial issues preceded the continental notes by many decades, and some are quite rare. These notes are in demand among collectors and rising in value due to the limited numbers printed. They are one of the last issues to be denominated in British coinage as America declared its independence from Britain the previous year. Interestingly, they were printed on coarse blue paper to deter counterfeiting.
This nice and scarce colonial note comes from Pennsylvania. It was issued on October 1, 1773 and is printed with red and black ink to deter counterfeiting. It is certified Choice Uncirculated-63 by PCGS.
