INCREDIBLE 1776 AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR HISTORY! 🇺🇸
Offered here is a super cool and very nice 1776 Continental Currency Half Dollar Note, printed by Hall & Sellers in Philadelphia on February 17, 1776, just months before the Declaration of Independence.
This fascinating piece of Continental Currency was issued by the Continental Congress during the American Revolutionary War as the colonies worked to finance the fight for independence.
One of the most eye-catching features is the iconic FUGIO design, an early American symbol associated with Benjamin Franklin’s famous motto “FUGIO” — “I Fly” / “Time Flies.” The note also features the remarkable 13 intertwined rings representing the unity of the original thirteen colonies.

CONDITION:
Very nice circulated condition for a nearly 250-year-old piece of Revolutionary War history. There are NO RIPS OR TEARS. The edges show some expected wear from age and use, but the note retains excellent overall detail and displays beautifully.
This is the kind of piece that is so much more than old paper — it is an actual piece of the American Revolution. Holding a note printed in Philadelphia in 1776, while the colonies were fighting for independence, is pretty incredible.
A fantastic addition to a collection of Colonial Currency, Continental Currency, Revolutionary War memorabilia, early American paper money, or American history.
Please examine all photos carefully, as the photographs are an important part of the condition description.
