Token F-115B-11A OH

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 115B-11A from Ohio, the eleventh die combination using the 115B obverse die in copper. The large number of die combinations within this single die series illustrates how Civil War token manufacturers maximized production variety from each obverse die by pairing it with numerous reverse dies. Ohio's Fuld 115B series is representative of the state's enormous contribution to Civil War token numismatics, with Cincinnati's proximity to major copper and brass suppliers facilitating large-scale token production. The catalog numbering systems used for American tokens have evolved over more than a century of scholarship, with each generation of researchers refining earlier work and documenting newly discovered varieties. Each combination in this series represents a deliberate manufacturing decision, whether motivated by merchant commissions, collector demand, or the die-sinker's desire to create saleable varieties.
