Province of Pennsylvania. June 18, 1764. Two Shillings. No.[faint]. Plate B. Signed by Jon.(athan) Evans, E.(noch) Story, and Tho.(mas) Wharton. Printed on sturdy, but thinner paper. Standard size, design and horizontal orientation as previous Half Crown and Crown notes. Nature print design on the back. Printed in black, face and back, by B.(enjamin) Franklin and David Hall, their imprint on the back. Fine to Very Fine, a vertical fold and some corner folds. No paper breaks, but two foxing spots in the center (one goes through the back). Only 20,000 were printed, and the majority were well circulated. This note perhaps approaches the upper end for condition on the issue and denomination.
