| | | | The picture shows a close view of both sides of this 1800's Fanueil Hall Clothes Warehouse Massachusetts Advertising Hard Times Token. As I understand it, there were times in the 1800's when there was a shortage of metals for minting coins. Many businesses had minted their own and took advantage of this opportunity to advertise on them. This coin is believed to have had a value of one cent. It is made of copper. On one side it reads: FANUEIL HALL CLOTHES WAREHOUSE
AN
EXTENSIVE
ASSORTMENT
OF FASHIONABLE
READY MADE
CLOTHING The other side reads: CLOTHS
CASSIMERES & VESTINGS.
