1935A $1 Hawaii Silver Certificate

This 1935A $1 Hawaii Emergency Silver Certificate, Fr. 2300, represents a fascinating piece of WWII history. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, these specially marked notes were issued exclusively for use in Hawaii, featuring distinctive "HAWAII" overprints that would allow quick demonetization if Japan invaded the islands. The brown Treasury seal, rather than the standard blue, further distinguishes this emergency issue.

The note displays exceptional quality with bright, clean surfaces and sharp printing throughout. The brown seal and black "HAWAII" overprints stand out boldly against the pristine white paper. The margins are well-centered, and the green reverse design remains vivid, with the large "HAWAII" overprint prominently displayed. Both the face and back retain strong ink color and clarity, demonstrating superior eye appeal.
