(ca. 1920s) Token TC-450718 Brass, The Crusaders

Coin Details

Description

This brass token, cataloged as TC-450718, was issued by The Crusaders, a fraternal, religious, or civic organization active during the 1920s. Fraternal and civic organizations proliferated in early twentieth-century America, and many issued tokens or medals for membership identification, event admission, or as collectible keepsakes. The Crusaders name indicates either a temperance organization — "The Crusaders" was a prominent anti-Prohibition group that advocated repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment during the 1920s and early 1930s — or a fraternal order with chivalric themes. The 1920s was a period of intense social and political organizing in American life, and organizational tokens from this era document the grassroots associations that shaped public discourse on issues from Prohibition to veterans' affairs.
