St. Joseph Museums

The coin appears to be made of a copper-like metal and is aged, displaying tarnish that adds to its historical charm. It bears the date "1863" at the bottom, suggesting it is from the 19th century. The design on the coin's obverse side includes a profile of a lady wearing a headdress, possibly representing Liberty, surrounded by stars along the rim, which is typical of older American coinage. The intricate details, such as the hair and headdress of the profile, are well-defined despite the coin's age. The coin's evident wear and patina signify its antiquity, while maintaining a distinct outline and features. The blue fabric beneath contrasts with the warm tones of the coin, emphasizing its presence. This piece could be a collector’s item, a Civil War token, or a commemorative piece from that era, and its historical significance can be intriguing for numismatists or anyone
