Description
Genuine Yorktown Issue $4 Continental
Continental Currency April 11, 1778 $4 PCGS Banknote About Unc
50.Several Acts were passed at Yorktown (York, PA) to authorize this April 11, 1778, issuance. At right is an emblem of a boar charging a spear with the words AUT MORS AUT VITA DECORA (Either death or an honorable life). The back features a nature print with the Hall & Sellers imprint below. The Yorktown emission is undoubtedly the scarcest due to the fact that it was heavily counterfeited by the British in an attempt to devalue Continental Currency, and thus, genuine notes were recalled quickly. The AU representative in this lot is printed on bright paper with clear signatures. PCGS Banknote comments on minor glue, likely from a previous mounting.
