Description: The January 14, 1779 issue was passed to act as a redemption for notes of the May 20, 1777 and April 11, 1778 issues due to extensive British counterfeiting. New border cuts for this issue read “UNITED STATES OF NORTH AMERICA” and uniquely features red and black ink by Hall and Sellers as well as watermarked paper. The 6 lowest denominations ($1-$20) plus $70 and $80 were watermarked “UNITED STATES” in two lines. The $30-$65 bills were watermarked “CONFEDERATION”. This $2 note features an emblem of grain being threshed by a flail. This emblem is encircled by the latin motto “TRIBULATIO DITAT” (Affliction improves it). The reverse features nature print of mulberry leaf. Affordable problem free example from this popular issue. Previously a part of the extensive Dr. O’Shaughnessy Continental Collection.
