Civil War Store Cards are a type of collectible token issued by merchants during the American Civil War, particularly in 1864. In Wisconsin, these tokens were used as a substitute for small change, as coinage was scarce due to the war. The cards often featured various designs and inscriptions that reflected local commerce or support for the Union. Their historical significance, rarity, and association with a tumultuous period in American history contribute to their appeal among collectors.
