Description
PENNSYLVANIA CURRENCY PRINTED BY BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. FRANKLIN, BENJAMIN. 1706-1790. Two Pennsylvania twenty shilling notes printed by Benjamin Franklon and D. Hall, each 90 x 70 mm, printed May 20, 1758, in the Province of Pennsylvania, verso engraved 'To Counterfeit is Death,' corners worn, signatures faded, worn, floated and framed with a portrait of Franklin to 495 x 635 mm. RARE 20-SHILLING NOTES PRINTED BY FRANKLIN. No other American did more in the 18th-century, from the inception of printed currency in the colonies, to advance the use of printed money. Franklin also invented the first anti-counterfeit measures in 1739 by embedding a sage leaf in the printing process, which could not be replicated. As here, he marked his bills in the printing process, 'To Counterfeit is Death.'
