Hard Times Tokens are a type of numismatic collectible that emerged during the economic downturn in the United States in the early 1830s, particularly around 1833. These tokens were privately issued as alternatives to the scarce government coinage and often featured satirical or political messages. The Rulau catalog lists various types, designs, and issuers of these tokens, reflecting social commentary and economic conditions of the time. They are typically made of copper or brass and remain popular among collectors for their historical significance and artistic designs.
