Civil War Sutler Tokens were private currency issued by sutlers, who were merchants providing goods to soldiers during the American Civil War. These tokens were often used in military camps as a means of exchange, since official currency was scarce. The tokens typically featured the names or logos of the sutlers and were issued in various denominations. The Schenkman tokens, dated 1861, are particularly notable among collectors for their historical significance and connection to the wartime economy.
