Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 370A-6D from Indiana. The "D" composition indicates copper-nickel, an unusual composition for Civil War tokens that gives this piece the appearance of a small federal coin. The sixth die combination demonstrates that the 370A obverse was used extensively in Indiana. Indiana's Civil War tokens document the state's commercial activity during a period when its strategic border position with Kentucky made it a focal point of military and economic activity. American tokens document the intersection of commerce and material culture, serving as tangible evidence of business practices, economic conditions, and social relationships that conventional historical sources may overlook. The copper-nickel composition distinguishes this from the standard copper and brass issues, making it a composition variant of particular interest to collectors.
