Colonial American Fiscal Paper - United State Loan Office (for the) State of Connecticut Certificate for Receipt for Oversubscribed Federal Debt April 19, 1793 Anderson-Smythe CT-56 or "Imlay Certificate." This State of Connecticut certificate relates directly to the federal debt certificates created by Hamilton's plan enacted and approved by the President, August 4, 1790.
Per the language of the Congressional Act, each state was responsible for assuming any oversubscribed funded debt; these certificates converted that federal obligation into state debt. An attractive certificate printed on laid paper with the imprint of "Francis Bailey - Printer" at left. The oval Great Seal of the United States is to the left of the obligations and issuance line, with denominational indents at the far left. Only 150 were authorized for Connecticut, thus these are very scarce. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society
United States Federal Loan Office Certificate, State of Connecticut. An agreement was worked out by the states to assume a portion of the Revolutionary War debt. This agreement also allowed for the nation's capital to be moved from Philadelphia to Washington, DC as the southern states took on a larger share of the debt. William Imlay signed this state debt certificate as commissioner and these are known as "Imlay Certificates." Rarity in Anderson CT-56 is Rarity-5 (31 to 75 known).
