In 1652, the first colonial mint was established in Boston, Massachusetts, where silversmith John Hull created the pine tree shilling, despite it being illegal for colonists to produce their own currency. This coin featured a pine tree design, symbolizing the region's natural resources and independence. The minting of the pine tree shilling represented a significant step towards self-governance and economic autonomy for the American colonies.
