Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Shilling - Chalmers (With Rings) 1783 from Maryland is that it was issued during a time when the United States was still a group of individual colonies, before the establishment of a federal government. This coin was minted by a private entity, rather than a government, and was used as a form of currency in the state of Maryland. Despite being issued by a private entity, the coin was still made of silver (.910) and weighed 3.5 grams, indicating its value and authenticity.
