Civil War Store Cards are a unique type of collectible coin that emerged during the American Civil War, particularly in Tennessee. These tokens were issued by local merchants as a form of currency in areas where change was scarce due to the conflict. Often made from materials like brass or copper, these store cards featured various designs, including merchant names and local imagery, reflecting regional culture and history. They serve as a tangible connection to the economic conditions and social landscapes of the 1860s, making them highly sought after by collectors of Americana and Civil War memorabilia.
