Description

This undated copper-nickel Civil War store card cataloged as Fuld 200J-2d features a patriotic die (PE) issued by Wiatt & Bro. of Ohio. The copper-nickel composition, designated by the "d" suffix, is uncommon among Civil War tokens and gives this piece a distinctive silvery appearance. The partnership designation "& Bro." (and Brother) was a common business naming convention indicating a family-run enterprise. The 200J Fuld series places this within a different Ohio locality from the 165 series tokens, demonstrating the geographic spread of Civil War token production across the state. Wiatt & Bro.'s token served the dual purpose of all store cards: providing emergency currency when federal coinage was unavailable while simultaneously advertising the family business to every person who handled the token in commerce.
