Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 190B-3A from Ohio. The 190B obverse die is a variant within the 190-series, paired here with its third reverse die in copper.

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.
