Description
A bronze imitation of a Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling cataloged as Noe E in the standard reference for Massachusetts colonial silver coinage. Sydney P. Noe's 1952 study of the Pine Tree coinage lists imitations and fabrications alongside the genuine dies and gives them letters; the sources read for this page do not name the maker or the date of this one. The genuine Pine Tree coins were struck in Boston from about 1667 to 1682, all dated 1652, the year the General Court set up the mint (WIKI). This example is struck in bronze. It is catalogued as Noe-E. The genuine coin it imitates is listed in the catalog as 1652 Shilling Pine Tree - Large Planchet.
