Collectible coins can encompass a variety of types, including historical coins, commemorative coins, and merchant tokens. Merchant tokens, such as those cataloged by Rulau, were often issued by businesses during the 19th and early 20th centuries as substitutes for currency, particularly in areas where coins were scarce. The 1861 tokens are particularly noteworthy due to their association with specific merchants or localities, often featuring unique designs and inscriptions that reflect the business's identity.
