South Carolina. June 1, 1775. 5 Pounds. Serial number 3336. Ornate indent at left. A spread of 12 arrows beneath the motto AUSPICUM SALUTIS (an auspice of well-being) in a circular frame at lower right. Signed by Benjamin Elliot, Isaac Hayne, James Parsons, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, John Poaug, Philip Porcher, and Thomas Smith. Fine, but there are internal body splits, a hole at the center, and a stain nearby. 20,000 were issued. A decent representative example from a series that was printed on "thin weak paper." Ex. Henry Chapman.
