GIES DEALER IN GROCERIES PROVISIONS HAY & STRAW BOOTS & SHOES. Struck in copper. A very scarce token featuring smooth reddish-brown surfaces and no mentionable marks or spots. Some edge roughness is detected at the base of the obverse, this possibly being mint-made. About 45 degrees of counterclockwise die rotation is noted.
