New York Currency
June 18, 1756 Third Bill of Exchange 450 Sterling New York "for the Supply of the North-American Expedition"
New York, June 18, 1756, French and Indian War Period, Partially-Printed Document, Third Bill of Exchange 450 Sterling, "for the Supply of the North-American Expedition," PMG graded Choice Extremely Fine-45.
A fully issued and completed financial Third Bill of Exchange for providing supplies to the North American Expedition during the French and Indian War. Great Britain formally declared war on France on May 18, 1756. Normal folds and very light toning. A barely visible tape repair on the upper left reverse corrects a straight cut that is almost imperceptible on the front of the note. This example is serial number 10 payable to the Merchants of Thomlinson and Hanbury of London. The "Third Bill" indicates that the first and second bills were lost in transit, leaving this and the fourth bill as the last chances for redemption. The signature on the reverse proves that this one made it to its destination and was redeemed. Docket on the blank reverse. An important document from a historically turbulent period. The first we have seen and offered being "for the Supply of the North-American Expedition."
