Token F-200C-5A OH

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 200C-5A from Ohio. The fifth die combination for the 200C obverse demonstrates sustained production from this particular die. Ohio Civil War tokens from the 200-series document specific commercial establishments whose identities are preserved in the die designs, even when the abbreviated catalog listing does not specify the merchant name. The Fuld catalog's detailed die descriptions, accompanied by photographs in the reference volumes, allow collectors to identify the specific merchant or patriotic theme associated with each die number. 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 copper composition ensured wide acceptability in daily commerce.
