"The Wealth of the South" Palmetto Republic T-shirt

"No Submission to the North" Palmetto Republic T-shirt

Among the most popular of the Civil War-era token issues, the Wealth of the South tokens were struck in 1860 just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati in Covington, Kentucky. Coined by John Stanton, one of the most prolific makers of Civil War tokens, the dies for the Wealth of the South series were produced by Benjamin True and featured “Rice, Tobacco, Sugar, and Cotton”, with the reverse presenting a stand of arms at the base of the Palmetto tree. Emblazoned above with the words "No Submission to the North".
