Eighteen pence note from Pennsylvania dated on March 10, 1769, during the reign of King George III. Signed by Thomas Say, James Penrose, and Luke Morris.

The text:

This indented BILL of ONE SHILLING and SIXPENCE, shall entitle the Bearer to receive of the Treasurer of the Contributors to the Relief and Employment of the Poor in the City of Philadelphia, the like Sum of One Schilling and Sixpence, of equal Value with the same Sum, of the Bills of Credit of this Province, now by Law current, according to the Directions of an Act of General Assembly of Pennsylvania, made in the Ninth Year of the Reign of His Majesty GEORGE III. Dated the Tenth Day of March, 1769.

The back is blank.

In a 4" x 6" 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.

Note that the manufacturer claims UV protection, but I haven't seen any technical report, so recommend keeping them out of direct sunlight. Important note on the care of these frames: Use a microfiber cloth or similar to remove dust and fingerprints. Do not use household cleaners.

Shipping: $15. Please allow one week for shipping.
