Original – An interest-bearing Kingdom of England Exchequer note for 5 pounds, dated 6 August 1697. These bills were first introduced one year earlier (1696) and paid interest for loans made to the government.[1] Issued during the reign of William III, this note is dated less than a decade after England’s 1689 Bill of Rights was adopted, and a decade before Great Britain was formed.

Support - 300-year-old exchequer notes don't come up every day. Very useful (I was snooping your contributions and had half a mind to nominate this myself, but now I see you got to it first) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:39, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
