South Carolina March 6, 1776 15 Pounds Fr. SC-125. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. This series is very diverse, with denominations from 1 shilling 3 pence to 100 pounds. They featured different paper types, sizes, orientations, emblems, and patriotic mottos; some had two-color printing. The four highest denominations (15, 25, 50, and 100 pounds) were printed on laid paper using a large format. Elaborate borders create a beautiful frame for the text. The circular emblem at lower right shows a rattlesnake attacking the British lion. Encircling is the motto MAGNIS INTERDUM PARVA NOCENT (Sometimes small things do harm to big things). There are four signatures, but the vertical one at the right is faint. Noted with \"Small Edge Splits\" and \"Tape Repair on Back.\" Well margined and boldly printed. In far above average condition for a note printed on delicate paper. The emblem is very sharp and exhibits its patriotic character splendidly. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society\n\n
