<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2483007, member: 66&quot;]I think the Virginia half penny is highly appropriate.&nbsp; If he deals mainly with colonial and world coins, the Virginia half penny is just about the ONLY authorized&nbsp; coin for use in one of the colonies.&nbsp; (The Mass silver being the other)&nbsp; All the rest of the pieces issued during the colonial period were private issues.&nbsp; The CT, MA, NJ coppers were all issued AFTER the colonial period.&nbsp; They are state coinage.&nbsp; The VT coppers are were issued by an independent country.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the banner has the last colonial issued coin, with a Monach pictured that issued coins in a lot of other world countries, combined with the flag of the colonies that broke away from that Monarch.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you did want to balance the image you might replace the eagle with an early Federal coin such as the Fugio cent (Only Federal coin issued under the Articles of Confederation, even though minted under contract)&nbsp; giving you the beginning, middle, and ending of the era.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
