Bold 1776 Continental Congress $1/6 FUGIO Design Note
Continental Congress. February 17, 1776. One Sixth of a Dollar. FUGIO Design. Plate B. Choice Crisp About Uncirculated.
Fr. CC-19. This bold crisp “1776” dated Revolutionary War note is the lowest denomination of the series. All details of the text and designs are sharply printed and distinct on its bright, fresh clean paper. The obverse FUGIO Sundial design vignette by Benjamin Franklin was also used for the 1776 Continental Dollar and later in 1787 for the FUGIO Cent. The reverse design showing the Thirteen Chain Linked States is near perfectly centered with four printed outer borders. The signature of “B Branman” and serial number are written in rich red, adding eye appeal. The paper is perfectly clean and fresh in appearance with just a trace of a prior hinge removed at the upper central reverse and having the overall eye appeal of Choice Uncirculated. Overall, a lovely sharp example of this highly popular FUGIO note.
