Long Table 192. The Silver Coinage of the Massachusetts Bay Colony

Описание к видео Long Table 192. The Silver Coinage of the Massachusetts Bay Colony

Jesse Kraft (Resolute Americana Assistant Curator) will examine the silver coinage of the Massachusetts Bay Colony issued between 1652 and 1682. For centuries, these coins have captured the imaginations of both European and American numismatists. This presentation will look at specifics regarding the founding of the mint, the circulation of the coinage, and reasons why it closed. The coins came at an interesting time in both English history and broader global economic issues, and ended at an especially chaotic time in Massachusetts history.
