Connecticut Coppers are early American coins struck in the 1780s by the Connecticut Colony. These coins were made of copper and are part of the broader category of colonial coinage, which emerged due to a lack of official currency in the new United States. The Connecticut Coppers feature designs that often include the state's emblematic oak tree and the word "CONNECTICUT." They are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity, with various variants reflecting different manufacturing techniques and die states.
