Dies 25830/28580
These were privately minted in the USA during the Civil War to make change due to coin shortages. Civil War store cards differ from patriotic tokens in that one or both sides displays the name and/or location of a privately owned business. Businesses that could afford it had two custom dies made, with both advertising the business. Otherwise, only one side displayed the business's information.
