Sutler Tokens- Considered to be the rarest, of the Civil War Tokens, the Sutler Tokens are similar to the Store Cards.A patriotic die was used for the other side.

On April 22, 1864, the US Congress passed the Coinage Act of 1864. From 1862-1864, over 25,000,000 Civil War Tokens were produced and at least 8,000 varieties are currently known.

Entering the second year of the Civil War, US currency was rapidly vanishing.
