Beautiful, authentic 19th-century merchant store card token (circa 1850s-1860s) in exceptional condition. This historic piece features a highly detailed portrait of George Washington on the front and the U.S. Capitol building on the back.
This is the highly sought-after "Strassburger & Nohn" variety, cataloged by numismatists as Miller NY-841. It served as an early advertisement for their shop at the corner of Maiden Lane & William Street in New York City.
Details:
Obverse: "George Washington" portrait. (Lauer Mint die)
Reverse: U.S. Capitol with "Strassburger & Nuhn/New York" text.
Size/Weight: 24mm/3.8g.
Composition: Solid composition brass with beautiful, original golden mint luster (not gold plated/but remarkably preserved to maintain its original bright finish)
Condition: Excellent, high-grade preservation. The fine architectural details of the Capitol pillars, windows, and lettering are incredibly crisp with minimal wear. Stored safely in a protective 2x2 cardboard coin holder.
Perfect addition for collectors of Civil War-era tokens, early New York merchant history, or George Washington exonumia. $85
