1659 - Coins

The 1659 Maryland Lord Baltimore coin, also known as the Maryland codfish or "Lord Baltimore" coin, is one of the earliest forms of currency minted in the American colonies. Authorized by Cecilius Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, these coins were made to address the need for local currency in the Maryland colony. Featuring imagery associated with the colony, the coins were struck in silver and often exhibit a distinctive design that includes a codfish, reflecting the maritime culture of the region. Their historical significance and rarity make them highly sought after by collectors of early American numismatics.
