Title:
Union Shield Wreath ”2” (dated 1865)
Description:
Small dark brown/black toned copper coin/token photographed on a wood-grain surface.
Side 1 (obverse-like): A Civil War-era style Union shield centered, with crossed arrows behind, and a laurel/oak style wreath draped along both sides. Date visible at the bottom: ”1863”.
Side 2 (reverse-like): A wreath around the central denomination. Center text appears as a large ”2” over letters that look like ”C” or possibly ”Cts”/”CENTS” (the lower letters are faint). Around the rim there appears to be legend text but it is too worn/unclear to reliably read from the provided photos.
Overall appearance and motifs strongly resemble U.S. Civil War token / 1863 two-cent pattern-inspired designs (Union shield and wreath/denomination layout). No packaging is shown in the provided images, and no barcode/UPC/EAN is visible.
