Georgia Five Spanish Milled Dollars With "Barrel Beehive"

Georgia. (1776) Undated. Five Dollars. "Barrel Beehive" vignette. Newman variety "d" with Exclamation Points in the Border. PASS-CO graded Extremely Fine-45.
"Restored corner" noted on encasement. A very high quality Georgia rarity of this undated (1776) issue, having bold red and black text and a black vignette of a "Barrel Beehive" at lower right. The denomination is payable in Spanish Milled Dollars. There are four large, even margins the designs and text being sharp and clear. All five signatures are written in rich dark brown ink as is the serial number. The paper remains very clean with very light circulation or handling, there being faint traces of prior corner mounting and expert repair at lower right, on the blank reverse. An impressive example of this significant rarity that has lovely overall eye appeal.
