The Connecticut Copper is a type of colonial coin minted in 1787 in the United States, specifically in the state of Connecticut. Made primarily of copper, these coins were part of a series intended to facilitate trade and standardize currency during a time when the fledgling nation lacked a consistent monetary system. The Connecticut Coppers were notable for their distinctive designs, often featuring a depiction of a tree and the words "Connecticut" or "Colony of Connecticut." Due to their historical significance and limited mintage, they are highly sought after by collectors.
