Civil War Store Cards are a category of collectible coins issued primarily during the American Civil War era, particularly in the early 1860s. These tokens were often produced by private businesses in states like Pennsylvania and served as a form of currency due to the scarcity of official coinage at the time. They typically feature designs related to the businesses that issued them and are valued by collectors for their historical significance and connection to the Civil War period. The 1861 examples are particularly notable and can be categorized as "Unknown" due to the variety of issuer designs and limited mintage.
