This Oak Tree Shilling circulated in the Massachusetts Bay Colony when the colonial population (not native) of what would be the entire United States was just about 50,000. For comparison&#8217;s sake, the population of downtown Boston is now 650,000. Struck in Boston, this &#8220;In at Bottom&#8221; example seems to have been folded up at some point, as was commonplace. A clear full date and a clear full oak tree.
