1800’s George Washington Commemorative Death / Funeral Token

[Carolina Relic Hunter]

I was super excited to find this guy. Thought it might be a large copper, but this was more interesting to learn about. The sad part is that these were produced in large numbers but I’m happy to have it just the same. Pictures are both the front and back and it’s identical.

Interesting find. I can't say that I've seen one before. What time period were these made?

From what I could find they were minted in 1800

Sure looks like the modern 1960 era gas station commemoratives that we see dug often....
