Connecticut Cent, 1788.
Obverse: Identical with one of 1787.

Note.—The obverse and reverse dies of the Connecticut cents are too numerous to mention, there being no less than one hundred and sixty-four of the first, and eighty-four of the latter.
New England Token.
Obverse: Same as that of the common type of the Carolina Token of 1694, and from the same die as that and the “London Halfpenny.”

Good Samaritan Shillings.
The same general type and variety as the Pine Tree Shilling, but bearing upon the obverse a well-executed device, illustrating the parable of the Good Samaritan; but two or three specimens of this coin have been known, two of which are in existence and of unique varieties; they are supposed to have been pattern pieces, struck at the origin of the Mint of Massachusetts Colony.
