This
is an authentic piece of colonial currency from the 1700's. These early U.S.
currency pieces from the colonies are a true piece of history. This one was
issued the State of New Hampshire. It is clearly dated from April 29th
1780. This one was worth the amount of 1 dollar. In the center of the note you
see the circular hole that lets us know that the note was taken out of
circulation and this process is known as "Hole Punch Cancellation." On the back
of the note it has the motto: "Depressa resurgit" (Having been pressed down, it rises up again) in the center. It also has the amount of value and the
printer's name. The note was printed by Hall & Sellers of Philadelphia. The
note measures approximately 3-5/8ths inches by 2-3/4ths inches in overall size.
The note is in nice circulated condition. These
New Hampshire notes are the toughest of the states to find of all of the 13
colonies. It comes in their acid-free holder for preservation and display.
