Token F-115B-7A OH

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 115B-7A from Ohio. The seventh die combination in the 115B series represents one of the higher-numbered pairings for this obverse die. Higher-numbered combinations sometimes indicate later production runs or less common reverse die pairings, though the relationship between die combination number and rarity varies widely across the Civil War token series. Ohio's Civil War tokens were distributed through a network of merchants, wholesalers, and token dealers who supplied businesses across the state and neighboring regions. American tokens document the intersection of commerce and material culture, serving as tangible evidence of business practices, economic conditions, and social relationships that conventional historical sources may overlook. The copper tokens circulated freely at the value of one cent, accepted by both merchants and the public as practical substitutes for the absent federal cents.
