Fr#NY-175 variety, August 2, 1775. S/N 2899.

The first currency ever issued by an American city, this is a superb New York Water Works note made more desirable by the vibrant red ink and very wide margins.

Signed by Whitehead Hicks and J. Watts, Jr. Printed with white paper on the front and coarse dark paper on the back, with a cool vignette depicting a steam operated water pump.

And this is an especially high grade example of this neat issue.
