1935A $1 Hawaii Overprint Silver Certificate Circulated

Product Description

Fearing invasion after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Treasury issued emergency currency for the islands. Overprinted with brown Treasury seals, serial numbers and the word HAWAII, the easily identifiable $1 silver certificates could be demonetized if they fell into the hands of Japanese invaders. After Allied victory, a large portion of these notes were recalled and destroyed. Circulated quality.
