Anmerkungen	The Colonial Agency of Liberia issued this fractional note in 1834, when the colony was still governed by the American Colonization Society — Liberia would not declare independence for another thirteen years. Fractional paper currency of this kind was a practical necessity in a settlement chronically short of small coin, where trade with American-supplied goods made dollar-denominated fractions more logical than any local metallic standard. Notes from this issuer survive in extremely small numbers. The ACS had no permanent banking infrastructure, and redemption was irregular at best.
