April 10, 1774. An emission of $480,000 in indented bills without legal tender status authorized on November 16, 1773, of which $266,666 was for loans, $80,000 for government expenses and $133,334 to be exchanged for worn bills.

The issue was similar to the March 1, 1770 issue but on thinner paper containing mica flakes and using the nature prints of the July 14, 1756 emission. Printed by Anne Catherine Green and William Green with border cuts by Thomas Sparrow.

Numbered and signed in brown ink. On the front is the Maryland crest and engraved borders. Within the left border is "I. GREEN" for Jonas Green, who printed the January 1, 1767 emission from which this 1774 emission was copied by the printers Anne and Frederick Green. On the back is a nature print with two types of leaves. The initials “I.G.” are visible on either side of the leaf stem on the left.

The note is numbered in ink, “11305” with two signers: John Clapham and William Eddis.

This note remains in very good condition with only one central fold, and light edge wear with one small edge tear.  [jet]  [ph:L]
