This coin is part of the Civil War Store Cards series, specifically from Illinois, and dates back to 1869. It represents a unique aspect of American currency from that era, relating to the financial challenges faced during the Civil War. The lack of a mint mark indicates that its origin is unknown, adding an air of mystery to its provenance. The coin has a denomination classified as 'Other / Varied', which is indicative of the store cards' variable face values, often used in local commerce at the time. Its physical dimensions, including width, height, diameter, and weight, are recorded as zero, which is unusual and may suggest either that it is not a traditional coin or specific details were not documented. Mintage information for this piece is also recorded as zero, suggesting it may be rare or uncirculated. As a type classified under 'Coins' in the currency of the United States of America, it embodies both historical significance and potential interest among collectors of Civil War-era artifacts. Despite its enigmatic attributes, this store card echoes the resilience of commerce and trade during a tumultuous period in American history.
