Civil War Store Cards were local merchant tokens issued during the American Civil War, particularly in 1861. These tokens were used in Maryland and other regions as substitutes for currency, which was scarce due to the conflict. The coins often featured local businesses or patriotic themes and were typically made of materials such as brass or copper. Their rarity and historical significance make them sought after by collectors of Civil War memorabilia and numismatics.
