Owner's Description

Border reads: The United Colonies.... The emblem on the front shows a harp with thirteen strings (representing the 13 colonies) with the Latin motto: "Majora minoribus consonant", meaning The larger are in harmony with the smaller. We stand as one. *Note, this can also be a clear warning to the British that all thirteen colonies stand as one in this common cause - War.

The nature print on the back is of a henebit leaf and two buttercup leaves. It is identical to a nature print used on earlier Pennsylvania currency.
