| Title | Five-hundred-dollar bill of credit, 1780 |
| Creator | North Carolina. General Assembly (New Bern, N.C.) |
| Date | May 10, 1780 |
| Description | Five-hundred-dollar bill of credit issued in 1780 and printed by James Davis in New Bern. |
| Historical Notes | This is an example of the second variety of the five-hundred-dollar bill in the May 10, 1780 authorization. It has no decorations around the "T" in "THIS" and the type used for the face value, "FIVE HUNDRED" is much larger and bolder than that used on the other variety. The Latin inscription Divitiæ Reipublicæ dant mihi pretium translates "The wealth of the Republic gives me value." |
