Currency of the American Colonies

Currency of the American Colonies
A stunning set of 3 historic coins each over 200 years old!
  • Includes a trio of coins in circulation in the early days of the newly formed United States of America: Dutch East Indies half stuiver from Batavia, Dutch East India Company ten cash coin, and a British half penny with the bust of the defeated King George III.
  • During the early days of Colonial America, these foreign coins were readily available due to thriving global trade with the Dutch and British. Yet, as our nation embraced independence, the reliance on foreign currency waned, giving rise to a uniquely American currency – a proud symbol mirroring the spirit of newfound freedom and autonomy.
  • The coins are presented in circulated condition and housed in a protective capsule that makes it easy to examine the coin while keeping it safe from dust, dirt, and fingerprints.
  • A handsome wooden display with a full color printed insert is included at no additional charge.
