Rare Red & Black Typeset March 6, 1776 South Carolina
South Carolina. March 6, 1776 Resolve. Two Pounds Five Shillings. Red and Black Print. Typeset with Hebrew Text Letters. Repairs, backed. Fine.
Fr. SC-123. This 1776 dated Revolutionary War South Carolina note is a significant rarity but has been completely backed for reinforcement. Only 10,000 notes were printed in its smaller size Red and Black print format. This note is well centered having repairs to the centerfold area. This historic South Carolina issue also has two Hebrew text letters located within the upper typeset design. They serve as both a decorative and anti-counterfeiting devices. This note was printed in the very printshop that had belonged to Francis Salvador, the Jewish American Patriot who was killed earlier that same year while on a secret mission ordered by General George Washington. A rare major type and missing in most collections.

Salvador was sent by Washington to meet and recruit local Indian tribes to the American Patriot side in the Revolutionary War and to have them fight against the British. That mission failed when Salvador was killed by those Indians.
