Is this yours?

I love the Patriotic tokens.
I don't know the rarity of yours, an R-7 would have 10-20 known in existence. I have a feeling there are more known to exist, however it is always a welcomed to dig one for sure.
Patriotic Civil War tokens typically displayed a patriotic slogan or image on one or both sides. Since the majority of these tokens were minted in Union states, the slogans and images were decidedly pro-Union. Some common examples of slogans found on patriotic tokens are "The Union Must and Shall Be Preserved," "Union For Ever," and "Old Glory". Some of the images found on patriotic tokens were the flag of the United States, a 19th-century cannon, and the USS Monitor.


Your scale:




* R-1: Greater than 5,000
* R-2: Between 2,000 and 5,000
* R-3: Between 500 and 2,000
* R-4: Between 200 and 500
* R-5: Between 75 and 200
* R-6: Between 20 and 75
* R-7: Between 10 and 20
* R-8: Between 5 and 10
* R-9: Between 2 and 4
* R-10: Unique (one known example)
