USA Civil War token 1863 patriotic

Description

The thousands of tokens made in the North during the Civil War were only made during 1863 and part of 1864, after which they were made illegal.

A token is used like a coin but is not a coin. Rather, it stands for a coin without the value of the coin. Maybe its copper, but says its value is the same as a silver coin. Usually tokens were made privately, but sometimes governments got involved.
