Hard Times Tokens are a type of collectible coinage that emerged in the United States during the economic downturn of the 1830s, particularly around 1834. These tokens were often made of various metals and served as an alternative currency during a period of financial instability and coin shortages. They typically feature inscriptions or imagery related to the social or political sentiments of the time. The Rulau reference categorizes these tokens for collectors and identifies various designs and manufacturers associated with them, although many remain unknown due to limited documentation.
