Description: This 1837 Hard Times Token from the United States is made of copper and features the inscription “Time is Money”. The coin showcases nice detail, reflecting the historical significance of the Hard Times era in America. This token, a form of exonumia, serves as a reminder of the economic hardships faced during this period and the importance of agriculture in sustaining the nation. Hard times tokens were unofficial copper or brass coins minted in the United States between 1833 and 1843 during a time of economic and political crisis. Used as a form of currency during a coin shortage they resembled large or half cent-sized coins. Hard Times Tokens often included satirical images and political messages and were issued during the Panic of 1837, the worst economic depression in the country at the time. Many express negative views of the administrations of Presidents Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren. 2704
