NC-1191d. "Quid". 10 May 1780 $25 "Quid non virtute efficiendum" North Carolina note. Printed [New Bern, North Carolina]: James Davis, 1780. Serial no. 2613. Printers imprint to verso. Signed by James Green, Jr. and James Coore. 3 3/8 x 2 1/2 in.

A Revolutionary War-era bill authorized by the Act of 10 May 1780, giving the government authority to issue currency. From a pivotal period of the war when colonies relied on state-issued currency to sustain wartime expenses. The Latin motto "Quid non virtute efficiendum" (What is not to be accomplished by Virtue) was one of six used on the $25 denomination to deter counterfeiting.
