Rulau Ct-Ha 19B, Robert Fulton Dollar
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Civil War store card from Connecticut, cataloged under Fuld Ct-Ha-19B. Connecticut was an arms-making center in the war, with Colt in Hartford and the New Haven Arms Company. Although undated, this token was produced during the 1862-1864 period when wartime hoarding of federal coinage created severe small change shortages. Between 1862 and 1864, Northern merchants produced millions of private tokens to compensate for the disappearance of federal coinage, which was hoarded for its metal content during the war. Surviving examples of Civil War tokens document the ingenuity of Northern merchants in maintaining commercial activity during the disruption of the federal coinage system.
