HAWAII WWII HIGH GRADE BROWN SEAL SILVER CERTIFICATE BANKNOTE
The item being presented is a $1 Hawaii WWII high-grade brown seal SILVER certificate banknote from the year 1935. This particular banknote belongs to a series of currency notes known as Hawaii overprint notes, which were issued as an emergency measure during World War II following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The purpose behind these overprints was to provide a simple means of differentiating American currency in case it fell into the hands of Japanese forces during a potential invasion of Hawaii, rendering the captured bills worthless.
