Title:
The Flag of Our Union Civil War Patriotic Token
Description:
Small copper (or copper-alloy) American Civil War era patriotic token dated 1863. The visible side shows a centrally placed waving U.S. flag (Stars and Stripes) surrounded by a ring of stars. The legend around the rim reads ”THE FLAG OF OUR UNION” with the date ”1863” at the bottom. The piece appears circulated with dark brown patina and wear; fields and devices are partially worn but the date and main legend remain readable. This is an exonumia item (a Civil War patriotic token used as a small-change substitute during the coin shortage), not an official U.S. Mint coin. Likely a common ’patriotic’ Civil War token variety from the standard Fuld catalog series (often listed as ’The Flag of Our Union’ type).
