Hard Times Tokens are a type of collectible coin issued in the United States during the economic difficulties of the 1830s and 1840s, particularly around the Depression of 1837. These tokens were created by private individuals and businesses as a form of currency when traditional coinage was scarce. They often feature various designs, including political messages or advertisements, and are categorized by their Rulau number, which serves as a reference in numismatic literature. The tokens from 1864 are particularly notable for their variety and historical significance in reflecting the socioeconomic conditions of the period.
