Comment

1864 Lincoln Token--Overstruck on an 1841 Netherlands Ducat.The medal is unlisted in Sullivan or Fuld. The obverse is dated 1864 and displays a bust right of President Lincoln. The legend includes UNION & LIBERTY along with stars. The reverse features a wreath and a prominent 3 at the center. The overtype is double struck, yet the undertype, a KM-70.2 Netherlands ducat with a fleur de lis privy mark, can be readily identified. The host coin is holed at 6 o'clock.
