Watch List notes:

South Carolina, 20 pounds, June 1, 1775, serial 9099, backed with violin sheet music.Fr-SC-100.An interesting display of the importance of paper money in the southern colonies, where notes were heavily circulated for some time in less than ideal climate conditions. A previous bearer backed this large denomination note with a piece of contemporary violin sheet music so as to keep the note intact and usable. Though the reverse design is now only slightly visible when held up to the light, the obverse is still very legible (see the mention of "Charles Town," now Charleston) with a sharply rendered vignette of clasped hands holding olive sprigs with the Latin motto FIDES PUBLICA (Public Trust) above. This note was issued by the "Provincial Congress," organized in January of 1775 by those seeking to break away from British control; within several months, the Congress had sent the royal governor away and effectively became the legislative body of a South Carolina revolting against the crown.
