Description:

The 1863 "Army & Navy" Patriotic Civil War Token is one of the most famous and widely produced private copper tokens issued during the American Civil War to address the severe shortage of official small change. Struck in massive quantities primarily across Northern states. The Obverse (Front): Most frequently displays a classic left-facing profile of Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian liberty cap, tightly encircled by 13 stars and the date 1863. Alternate die variations substitute Liberty with an anchor, a cannon, or George Washington. The Reverse (Back): Prominently displays the bold text "ARMY & NAVY" nestled inside two intertwined wreaths, usually accented by crossed swords at the bottom center to symbolize military unity.
