Description: The May 20, 1777 issue was the first series of Continental currency to use new border cuts reading “UNITED STATES” where previous issues read “UNITED COLONIES”. Due to extensive British counterfeiting, this entire issue was recalled by 1779. The extensive counterfeiting and recall of these bills resulted in the May 20, 1777 being one of the most scarce and sought after Continental issues today, especially for genuine bills like this. 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 raspberry and 2 filbert leaves of different size. Although low grade, this note is technically problem free and presents an opportunity to own a specimen from this incredibly scarce issue at a reasonable price. Previously a part of the extensive Dr. O’Shaughnessy Continental Collection.
