Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 270A-1A from Ohio. The 270-series die number advances through the Ohio section of the Fuld catalog, documenting yet another merchant or patriotic design. As the first die combination in copper, this variety represents the primary production version. Ohio's Civil War tokens span the full range of the Fuld numbering system, from single-digit die numbers through the 900s, reflecting the state's comprehensive participation in the wartime token economy. The study of American tokens bridges numismatics and local history, as individual pieces often provide the only surviving evidence of specific businesses, events, or commercial practices in their communities. Each die number corresponds to a specific obverse design, creating a visual catalog of wartime commercial imagery that includes merchant advertisements, patriotic symbols, and political statements.
