 January 14, 1779. $45. No.70113. Signed by N. Donnell and Paul Cox. A wood shed protects some beehives (industry), red on the vignette looks like a flag, legend SIC FLORET RESPUBLICA (Thus let the nation flourish); with orange protector at the left. Crisp Uncirculated, though trimmed in at the upper right a bit. The sharp color makes up for this shortfall.
The first and only usage of this odd denomination on continental currency.
