Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 290A-1A from Ohio. The 290-series die number documents a specific obverse design in the Ohio catalog. As the first combination in copper, this is the standard production version. The Fuld numbering system's sequential organization allows collectors to trace the full range of die designs produced for Ohio merchants, from the earliest die numbers through the highest. 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 number represents a unique contribution to the historical record, preserving the commercial activity that sustained Ohio's economy during the Civil War while the state devoted enormous resources to the military effort.
