Token F-510V-1a WI

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 510V-1a from Wisconsin. The "V" die designation indicates a specific obverse variant within the Wisconsin 510-series. Wisconsin tokens are scarce within the Civil War token universe, as the state's relatively small population and limited commercial centers produced fewer token varieties than the major Eastern and Midwestern states. The copper composition was standard for circulation tokens. Wisconsin's contribution to the Union war effort — including the famous Iron Brigade, one of the most celebrated combat units of the conflict — gave the state a proud military heritage that contrasts with its modest representation in Civil War token numismatics. The catalog numbering systems used for American tokens have evolved over more than a century of scholarship, with each generation of researchers refining earlier work and documenting newly discovered varieties.
