On the 5 shilling note you will see a crown next to the coat of arms which represents one crown. The 10 Shilling has 2 crowns and the 20 shilling has 4 crowns on it. Report this Post to the Staff

Whereas Boaz Manlove was accused of treason and escaped to a British Warship. Page 56 http://archives.delaware.gov/eBooks...Delaware.pdf After Boaz Manlove was accused as being a Tory, James Sykes signed notes as the third signer. James Sykes, an American lawyer and politician, served as a lieutenant under Caesar Rodney in the Dover Militia and was a delegate for Delaware for the Continental Congress in 1777. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_...al_Congress) Report this Post to the Staff
