Title | Ten-shilling bill of credit, 1785 |
Creator | North Carolina. General Assembly. |
Date | December 29, 1785 |
Description | Ten-shilling bill of credit printed by Thomas Davis in Hillsborough, N.C., in 1785 |
Historical Notes | For the state's 1783 and 1785 authorizations, North Carolina officials did not value their denominations in dollars; they reverted to using pence, shillings, and pounds. Thomas Davis, the son of former public printer James Davis, printed both issues. The University Library has no examples of the 1783 issue and possesses only a few heavily circulated denominations from the 1785 issue. This tattered ten-shillings bill, which some past user reinforced with backing paper and yellow thread, is one of them. |
