1777 GERMAN ILLUSTRATIONS OF COLONIAL PAPER

Julia Casey also located some early mentions of U.S. colonial paper money in German publications. Thanks! -Editor

1777 German Illustrations of Continental Paper

In addition to locating the 1785 catalog mention of the pewter Continental dollar my research also led me to these two illustrations of Continental paper in 1777 German publications. The language is more complex 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 has the spelling of CURRENCY as CURRENCEY and this misspelling possibly carried through on some of the Continental dollar coins.

Can anyone help with these translations? -Editor
