Description: The January 14, 1779 issue was passed to act as a redemption for notes of the May 20, 1777 and April 11, 1778 issues due to extensive British counterfeiting. New border cuts for this issue read “UNITED STATES OF NORTH AMERICA” and uniquely features red and black ink by Hall and Sellers as well as watermarked paper. The 6 lowest denominations ($1-$20) plus $70 and $80 were watermarked “UNITED STATES” in two lines. The $30-$65 bills were watermarked “CONFEDERATION”. This $20 note features an emblem of a strong wind creating waves at sea. This emblem is encircled by the latin motto “VI CONCITATE” (Driven by force). This emblem was originally designed by Benjamin Franklin. The reverse features nature print of grape leaf. Gorgeous AU example with crisp paper and bold ink that pops.
