Owner's Description

One dollar Continental bills have an image of a weighted bowl on an acanthus plant and the Latin Motto "DEPRESSA RESURGIT" which translates to English as, "Though crushed it recovers". This bill was signed by Thomas Morris and Mordecai Lewis.

One dollar bills have about average rarity for Continental bills. PMG has graded about twenty five May 9, 1776, CC-31 bills with 40% receiving a grade of AU or better and 10% receiving an uncirculated grade. The May 9, 1776 $1 are the 34th rarest of the 102 bills in the series.
