Description
This undated copper-nickel Civil War store card cataloged as Fuld 500L-1d features a patriotic die (PE) issued by J.J. Joyce of Indiana. The copper-nickel composition, indicated by the "d" suffix, places this among the less common Civil War token metals. Indiana's position as a border state — separated from Kentucky by the Ohio River — gave the war particular immediacy for Hoosier merchants and citizens. Confederate raider John Hunt Morgan's 1863 cavalry raid into southern Indiana brought the war directly to the state's doorstep. J.J. Joyce's patriotic token expressed Union loyalty in a state where the threat of Confederate incursion was real rather than theoretical. The 500L Fuld series identifies a specific Indiana community, and the copper-nickel "1d" combination makes this a distinctive variety within the Joyce token series.
