Token of Andrew Johnson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Copper-colored circular token with a raised border of stars. The token has a smooth, rounded edge. The center of the token features the name "ANDREW JOHNSON" in raised letters, with the year "1865" below it. The background of the image is a light gray color, providing a neutral contrast to the copper-colored token. The token casts a shadow to the right. The token appears to be made of metal and has a slightly shiny appearance. The surface of the token has some darker spots, likely due to aging. The stars on the border are five-pointed and evenly spaced. The text on the token is raised and appears to be embossed. The overall appearance of the token suggests it may be a commemorative or memorial item, related to Andrew Johnson.
