Token F-200A-2A MI

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 200A-2A from Michigan. The second die combination for the Michigan 200A obverse pairs this die with a different reverse than the 1A variety. Michigan's Civil War token catalog, while smaller than Ohio's or New York's, documents an important part of Great Lakes commercial history. The state's position on the shipping lanes connecting the Midwest to the Eastern seaboard via the Great Lakes and Erie Canal made it a critical link in Union commerce. 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. Tokens from Michigan circulated not only within the state but along the lake trade routes that connected Detroit to Buffalo, Cleveland, and Chicago.
