This note is from second-to-last resolution for Continental Currency notes, and it added two new denominations: $50 and $60. The pyramid at the center of the circular emblem at left has 13 steps, representing each state, and their strength and unity. The motto PERENNIS (Everlasting) curves above, between the inner and outer circle. The print on the back uses arrows rather than leaves. Crisp, original, well-printed, and boldly signed. A lovely type note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
