No Date Token TC-47232 Brass Blanding Trading Post UT Quarter

Coin Details

Description

This undated brass token cataloged as TC-47232, denominated as a quarter, was issued by the Blanding Trading Post in Utah. The quarter denomination provided a mid-range value between the nickel (TC-173747) and dollar (TC-172040) tokens in the Blanding Trading Post series. Trading posts in southeastern Utah served as vital commercial and social centers for the surrounding rural and Native American communities, offering general merchandise, provisions, and serving as informal gathering places. The quarter denomination was practical for everyday purchases of moderate value. The Blanding Trading Post token series documents the economic infrastructure of one of the most remote and geographically dramatic regions of the American West, where Monument Valley, Natural Bridges, and the canyonlands of the Colorado Plateau create a landscape of extraordinary beauty and isolation.
