Coin Details

Description

This undated Civil War era token, cataloged as Fuld 692A-1b, is a brass patriotic edition piece advertising Yankee Robinson of Illinois. The brass composition gives this variety a golden appearance distinct from the copper and copper-nickel versions in the extensive Yankee Robinson token series. Robinson's tokens are among the most prolific Civil War store card series, with dozens of die combinations cataloged under the 692A designation. The brass "b" variety is one of the more commonly encountered compositions in the series, though specific die combinations vary widely in rarity. Yankee Robinson's fame as a circus showman made these tokens effective advertising across a wide geographic area, as his traveling show visited communities throughout Illinois and the broader Midwest during the 1860s. The combination of entertainment history and Civil War numismatics makes Robinson tokens perennially popular with collectors.
