1935A $1 Hawaii Silver Certificate (Fr. 2300)

This 1935A $1 Hawaii Emergency Silver Certificate, Fr. 2300, is a notable relic of World War II history. Issued specifically for use in Hawaii after the attack on Pearl Harbor, these notes were designed to be easily identified by their distinct overprints, enabling them to be quickly demonetized in case of a Japanese ground invasion. This series stands out with its bold "HAWAII" overprint on both sides and brown Treasury seal, diverging from the usual blue seen on regular Silver Certificates.

Graded Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ by PMG, this note boasts exceptional original paper quality and outstanding eye appeal. The black overprint and brown Treasury seal stand out sharply against the clean surfaces, and the serial number’s vivid inking remains crisp. With perfectly balanced margins and pristine green engravings on the reverse, this note remains a top-quality example of its historical series.
