Continental Currency four-dollar note dated January 14, 1779, serial number 90213.

Printed by Hall and Sellers, and signed by Robert Cather and Daniel Wister.

Features a wild boar confronting a spear within a circular emblem. The full Latin motto, “AUT MORS AUT VITA DECORA,” translates as “Either death or an honorable life.”

The reverse bears a nature print of leaves and the imprint “Printed by Hall and Sellers. 1779.”

Size: 3⅝" × 2.75"

The note is enclosed in a 3" x 5" freestanding Lucite frame to protect the currency while allowing you to display it standing or flat. The two pieces of Lucite are held together with magnets, which makes it easy to remove the currency for a closer inspection or to frame in a different manner or to store.

The manufacturer claims UV protection, but I haven't seen any technical report, so recommend keeping them out of direct sunlight.

Shipping: $15. Please allow two weeks for shipping.
