Call for Pricing

Bolen, a respected 19th-century die sinker and engraver, produced this token as part of his self-promotional efforts during the Civil War era. Though technically a medalet, its inclusion in the Fuld Civil War Store Card listings attests to its hybrid appeal in both exonumia and Civil War token circles. This issue—featuring Bolen’s own portrait beneath a Liberty cap—is one of the rare few numismatic pieces depicting a living numismatist during the 19th century.
