Colony of New Hampshire. August 24, 1775. Five Shillings. No.868. Payable on December 20, 1778. Signed by Thompson and Gilman. Printed on coarse laid paper. 126mm by 70mm. Uniface, standard typeset design in different size than the July 25, 1775 notes. Indent at left with pattern borders, payable due date in the obligation text. The low denominations on this issue date are rare. Fine. Backed onto a white card. Likely with quartered splits, but this is reinforced. The face appearance is excellent and intact. There is some lift surface soiling. Boyd's pencil code, ''irry'', on the back.
