1857 - Coins

Collectible coins encompass a wide variety of categories, including historical coins, commemorative issues, and merchant tokens. Merchant tokens, such as those cataloged by Rulau, were commonly used in the 19th and early 20th centuries as substitutes for currency by businesses, particularly when coin shortages arose. The year 1857 is notable for the Coinage Act, which impacted the legal tender status of certain coins and encouraged the use of tokens in commerce. Collectors often seek these items for their historical significance, rarity, and unique designs, particularly those that represent specific businesses or localities.
