Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 200F-3A from Ohio. The 200F obverse die is one of six or more lettered variants within the Ohio 200-series, each representing a different merchant or design. The third die combination in copper pairs this obverse with a specific documented reverse. Ohio's deep representation across multiple sub-series within each die number group makes the state's Civil War tokens an encyclopedia of wartime commerce, with hundreds of individual businesses documented through their token issues. Private token production in America has served multiple functions throughout history, from providing small change during periods of coin shortage to advertising businesses and facilitating commercial transactions. The 200-series spans multiple merchant types and locations within Ohio, creating a comprehensive economic snapshot of the state during 1862-1864.
