Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 200A-2A from Ohio, the Ohio counterpart to the Michigan version sharing this die number. The second die combination in copper continues the 200A obverse's documented production run within the Ohio section of the Fuld catalog. Ohio's extensive token catalog means that virtually every die number from the low single digits through the 900s contains multiple varieties, creating an enormous field for collectors. Token die sinkers developed specialized skills in miniature design and metalworking that paralleled the capabilities of government mint engravers, though working with smaller budgets and less sophisticated equipment. The comprehensive documentation of Ohio Civil War tokens makes the state's section one of the most intensively studied areas of nineteenth-century American numismatics.
