Token F-200C-2A OH

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 200C-2A from Ohio. The 200C obverse die represents a third variant within the Ohio 200-series, extending the range of documented dies within this number group. The second die combination in copper pairs this obverse with a specific reverse die. Ohio's 200-series tokens exemplify the prolific die production that characterized the state's Civil War token industry, where multiple obverse variants sharing the same series number but featuring different designs or merchants created a rich variety for collectors. The variety of metal compositions used in American token production — copper, brass, bronze, nickel, aluminum, white metal, and various alloys — reflects the practical considerations of cost, appearance, and durability that guided manufacturers. The tokens served their primary economic function as cent substitutes while simultaneously creating a numismatic record of remarkable depth.
