HARTFORD Connecticut
The Comptroller\'s Office
Interest Certificate
January 11, 1790
~ 6 3/4 X 3 1/2 inches
An authentic 1790 Connecticut Comptroller’s Office Interest Certificate, issued to John Johnson for sixteen shillings and one penny lawful money. These certificates were part of Connecticut’s post‑Revolutionary War debt settlement program, paying interest on the state’s liquidated obligations.
Printed in Hartford by Hudson & Goodwin, this example features bold typography, ornate borders, and the original Comptroller’s signature of Ralph Pomeroy. The denomination is clearly expressed in pre‑decimal British currency notation (£0..16..1), reflecting early American monetary practice.
The note displays honest circulation wear consistent with age, with strong legibility and pleasing eye appeal for its class. A scarce and historically significant document from the formative years of the United States, ideal for collectors of Colonial currency, early American finance, or Connecticut history.
