My last exhibition for the American Numismatic Society is now on display! It traces the history of coins and currency in the Americas from 1500 to the present and includes some of the most interesting pieces in the collection, ranging from a silver coin struck at the Mexico City mint in 1536:
To early American paper money, including some super cool nature printing on the reverse of this 1756 colonial New Jersey note:
To tokens and other exonumia that illuminate the sociopolitical issues of their time, as with this powerful piece of propaganda created by the American Anti-Slavery Society of New York City in 1838:
The exhibition will be up through the end of the year at least, see the ANS website for more details.
