A Nation Divided, a Union Supported:
The Civil War (1861-1865) was a period of immense national conflict. Civil War Tokens emerged in the North as a response to a coin shortage caused by the war effort. These privately issued tokens were used for small transactions and often served as patriotic tokens expressing unwavering support for the Union Army and Navy.
