Rhode Island. May 1786 30 Shillings Colonial currency. Another in this popularly collected series of Rhode Island notes. Rhode Island, small though it was, was a leader in the American Revolutionary movement. Having the greatest degree of self-rule, it had the most to lose from the efforts of England after 1763 to increase its supervision and control over the American colonies. In addition, Rhode Island had a long tradition of evading the poorly enforced Navigation Acts, and smuggling was commonplace. PCGS graded New 62.
