1777 GERMAN ILLUSTRATIONS OF COLONIAL PAPER
Julia Casey also located some early mentions of U.S. colonial paper money in German publications. Thanks!-Editor
In addition to locating the 1785 catalog mention of the pewter Continental dollar my research also led meto these two illustrations of Continental paper in 1777 German publications. The language is morecomplex and I have not had much success translating these. Could someone assist?
I found it interesting that the February 17, 1776 One Sixth of a Dollar is illustrated since that example hasthe spelling of CURRENCY
as CURRENCEY
and this misspelling possibly carried through on someof the Continental dollar coins.
Can anyone help with these translations?-Editor
