Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 225A-1A from Michigan. The 225-series die number documents another Michigan Civil War token variety.

Michigan Civil War tokens serve as artifacts of the state's wartime economy, when Detroit's position as a manufacturing and transportation center made reliable small-denomination currency essential. The secondary market for American tokens ranges from common pieces available for minimal cost to rare varieties and exceptional specimens that command substantial prices at specialized auctions. The state's contribution to the Union war effort in men, materials, and economic production made the continued functioning of its commercial economy a matter of national importance.
