Civil War Store Cards from Connecticut, issued in 1861, are a unique type of collectible coinage primarily used in local commerce during the American Civil War. These tokens were created by merchants in response to the coin shortage caused by the war, functioning as a substitute for currency. Typically made of metal, they often feature inscriptions and designs that reflect the local store or merchant. The rarity and historical significance of these tokens make them highly sought-after by collectors of Civil War memorabilia and numismatics.
