Collectible coins can include a variety of types, such as numismatic coins, commemorative coins, bullion coins, and tokens. Trade tokens, like those cataloged by Rulau, served as substitutes for currency in local commerce, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The year 1867 marks a significant period in the United States, coinciding with the post-Civil War economy, leading to an increased issuance of trade tokens as private businesses sought efficient ways to facilitate transactions amid currency shortages. These tokens can be highly sought after by collectors for their historical and cultural significance.
