Token F-120A-1A OH

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 120A-1A from Ohio. The 120-series die number represents a different obverse die design from the 115 and 100 series, expanding the range of Ohio Civil War token varieties. Each die number in the Fuld catalog corresponds to a specific obverse design, whether a patriotic motif, merchant advertisement, or political statement. The "1A" combination indicates this is the first documented die pairing in copper for the 120A obverse. Ohio's Cincinnati was home to some of the most skilled die-sinkers of the era, including John Stanton, whose workshop produced dies for tokens distributed across multiple states. 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 quality of Cincinnati die work rivaled that of the New York manufacturers.
