Series 1935 United States one dollar silver certificate, signed on both sides by 27 officials, most of which were presumably acquired during the Casablanca Conference of January 14-24, 1943. Signers include Winston Churchill, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Matthew Ridgway, Free French Forces representative Henri Giraud, NBC radio commentator H. V. Kaltenborn, Quartermaster General Thomas B. Larkin, INS representative to the Department of Justice Henry B. Hazard, attorney and war crimes expert Willard B. Cowles, Sierra Leone statesman Edward W. Blyden III, and Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson. In very good condition, with light to moderate contrast to some of the signatures, and scattered mild toning to portrait side.
This currency is a virtual Who’s Who of World War II Allied military and political strength, including Britain’s prime minister, the Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, and a leader of the French resistance. Many—though not all—of the signers were participants in the Casablanca Conference, at which Allied strategies for Europe during World War II were planned. The meeting also established a call for the unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan, paving the way to have Nazi leaders as war criminals. A remarkable conglomerate of leaders of the free world!
