(c.1930s) Token KK-211 Gold United We Stand

Coin Details

Description

This gold token, cataloged as KK-211, bears the patriotic motto "United We Stand" — a phrase derived from the full maxim "United we stand, divided we fall" that has served as an unofficial American motto since the Revolutionary War era. Produced circa the 1930s, the gold composition makes this an unusual and premium piece among American tokens of this period. The KK catalog designation places this within a specialized reference for patriotic and motto tokens. The "United We Stand" phrase experienced particular resonance during the Depression era and the lead-up to World War II, when national unity was both a political aspiration and a rhetorical tool. Gold tokens of this period are uncommon, as most private tokens were produced in base metals, making this piece notable for both its composition and its patriotic message.

Rarity Notes

Gold composition, KK-211. Gold tokens are scarce. Patriotic motto theme has broad appeal.
