1780 Rhode Island Three Dollar Colonial Currency — Historic Facsimile
Rhode Island & Providence Plantations — Three Dollars — July 2, 1780
An attractive historic reproduction of one of Rhode Island's Revolutionary War-era currency issues, depicting the Three Dollar note of July 2, 1780, issued by the State of Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations and guaranteed by the United States.
The original note was printed by the celebrated Philadelphia printers Hall & Sellers and promised payment of three Spanish milled dollars, with interest at five percent per annum. The reverse bears the United States guarantee and the Latin motto “EXITUS INDUBIO EST.” The original issue is part of the important series of Revolutionary-era state currency backed by the Continental government.
Important: This example is a modern facsimile/reproduction, not an original 1780 colonial banknote. It bears the reproduction serial number 2298, a number specifically associated with modern reproductions of this Rhode Island $3 issue. It is offered as a historical reproduction and collectible display piece.
The aged appearance, period-style typography, decorative borders, United States emblem, and reproduced handwritten signatures make this an attractive piece for collectors of American Revolutionary history, colonial currency, early American printing, and historical paper ephemera.
