New Jersey, 30 shillings, Dec. 31, 1763, serial 7516, plate position D, PMG Choice Fine 15. Fr-NJ-158. Denominated to 30 shillings or "Four Ounces, Seven Pennyweight, and Twelve Grains of PLATE (silver)" with nicely printed black vignettes of the royal coat of arms and half of a sunface on the front; the back features a leaf vignette in addition to the printer's title and warning "'Tis Death to counterfeit." Edges are a bit worn from handling yet the interior design remains quite bold, while the back has a contemporary penned annotation and light smudge. This scarce type was apparently a "workhorse" note in colonial New Jersey, as the few seen on the market exhibit some degree of circulation. PMG #1991019-009.
