commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12250 Posts	Posted 05/23/2026 7:10 pm Here's an advertisement for the 1938 New Rochelle, NY 250th Anniversary Half Dollar that was used in 1937. I like the 'peer pressure' tactic used - "Texas and California are buying the coins, you should too!" For other of my posts about commemorative coins and medals, including more about the New Rochelle half dollar, see: Commems Collection Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

It references the payment to Lord Pell as 'pounds sterling currant (sic) silver money of this province' So, in 1688 what form of silver currency would that have been?
