Unknown - Coins

Hard Times Tokens are a form of privately issued currency that emerged in the United States during the economic depression of the late 1830s to early 1840s, particularly around 1847. These tokens often featured political or social messages, and were used as a medium of exchange in the absence of sufficient official coinage. Rulau lists various types and varieties of these tokens, which are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and unique designs. Many Hard Times Tokens were produced by local merchants and reflect the economic challenges of the era.
