This
is an authentic piece of colonial currency from the 1700's. These early U.S.
currency pieces from the colonies that would make up our states are a true
piece of history. This one was issued the Maryland colony. It is clearly dated
in from March 1st 1770. This one was worth the
amount of 8 dollars and notes that the exchange rate was four shillings and Six
pence per dollar. Yes that's right at that time currency was still figured in
English or Spanish values. On the left center of the note it has the image of
the seal of Maryland. On the back of the note it has the leaf and tree design in the center. It also has the
amount of value and the printer's name. The note was printed by A.C. & W. Green of
Annapolis. The note measures approximately 4-1/8th inches by 2-1/2 inches
in overall size. The note is in very attractive circulated condition with a repair to the center that is well done. It comes in their acid-free holder for preservation and display.
