Description

Round silver token features Lincoln's profile and his name embossed on the front. A scene of a log cabin and the capitol building are embossed on the reverse, but the image is obscured by a paper label that reads "388V." The label also obscures the financial organization that commissioned this coin. "1909" is printed at the bottom. A small ring is attached at the top.
