Patriotic Token 1863 - a representative
of a second basic type of the US Patriotic Civil War
tokens, the so-called "Patriotic" tokens which contained no sponsor's
name who would redeem them for cash. The token passed as one
cent. Miss Liberty in her Phrygian cap reminiscent
of America's early coinage is on obverse, and a legend ARMY and NAVY within
the wreath is on reverse.
