Si Recte Facies (If you act righteously you will be honored after death) is the motto surrounding the central vignette of a wreath on a pedestal of this note from the next to last Continental issue. This features the same nature print back of three willow leaves as used on the $30 Yorktown notes. Printed by Hall & Sellers. Hall & Sellers was a Philadelphia printing company originally established by Benjamin Franklin. In 1743 Franklin hired David Hall (1714-77), a Scottish journeyman printer, and in 1748 made the latter a partner. The firm printed Pennsylvania Gazette, Franklin's newspaper. In 1766 Franklin sold his share in the business to Hall, and later that same year Hall brought in the journeyman printer William Sellers as his new partner, establishing Hall & Sellers. The firm carried government contracts, including printing paper money.
