1860 The Wealth of The South Token ICG MS61. This Mint State, light brown, lustrous Civil War token is well struck. Shades of olive, tan, and darker brown are also seen. Mint luster glimmers within the devices. The surfaces are original and clean for the grade with no notable abrasion marks or other distractions. The piece is well struck with full details on the devices and legends on both sides of the token.

The obverse of the token depicts the legend THE WEALTH OF THE SOUTH RICE TOBACCO SUGAR COTTON. The reverse shows a palmetto tree in the center with glory rays, cannon and cannonballs. The legend is NO SUBMISSION TO THE NORTH and the date 1860 is below.

The token was designed by Benjamin True and struck in Cincinnati by John Stanton. It was marketed in the South where its sentiment was strongly favored. The philosophy was that the strength of the South came from the land and its crops. The strength of the North was based on man-made facilities and activities such as banking and manufacturing. (Some odd mules were made with these dies. One, for example, has Lincoln on the obverse with the secessionist reverse.)

The token occurs both with and without a hole for suspension. The current piece is unholed.
