Token F-115B-9A OH

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 115B-9A from Ohio. As the ninth die combination in the 115B series, this token is near the end of the documented pairings for this productive obverse die. The existence of at least eleven die combinations (1A through 11A) for the 115B obverse demonstrates exceptionally high production levels for this particular die. In Civil War token manufacturing, an obverse die could be paired with any available reverse die, and manufacturers maintained inventories of both patriotic reverse dies featuring eagles, flags, shields, and slogans, and store card reverse dies carrying merchant advertisements. The die combinations recorded in token catalogs document the production decisions of individual merchants and manufacturers, creating a record of commercial activity at the local level that complements broader economic histories. The copper composition ensured these tokens were accepted at face value in daily commerce throughout Ohio.
