1863 New York City Civil War Token – Edwd. Schulze’s Restaurant, Deer Antlers
A fascinating example of Civil War-era American exonumia, this 1863 New York City merchant token was issued for Edwd. Schulze’s Restaurant. The token features a distinctive deer/stag head with prominent antlers, making it an especially recognizable piece for collectors of Civil War tokens and New York City merchant issues.
The token dates to 1863, during the height of the American Civil War, when privately issued merchant tokens became an important part of everyday commerce due to the severe shortage of small-denomination U.S. coins.
