One of the last issues from New Jersey before independence formally severed the colonial currency framework, this note was authorized under the provincial assembly in January 1776. Isaac Collins, a Quaker printer based in Burlington, produced the series — he is better remembered as the founder of the New-Jersey Gazette, but his work for the colonial treasury was a significant commercial operation in its own right.
The nature print border — taken from actual leaf impressions pressed directly into the printing matrix — was a Benjamin Franklin-era anti-counterfeiting device, crude by later standards but effective enough given the equipment available to forgers at the time. The watermark adds a second layer, unusual for a colonial issue of this denomination.
