Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 320A-1A from Illinois. The 320-series in the Illinois Fuld catalog documents another die design used by Illinois merchants. As the first combination in copper, this represents the primary production version. Illinois tokens from the 320-series contribute to the state's Civil War token census, documenting commercial activity in a state whose rail networks, agricultural output, and industrial production were vital to the Union cause. The die combinations recorded in token catalogs document the production decisions of individual merchants and manufacturers, creating a record of commercial activity at the local level that complements broader economic histories. Chicago's role as a railroad hub and commercial center made Illinois tokens part of a broader commercial network that distributed tokens throughout the Midwest.
