(R)evolution in Currency - Object #59 1834 | Satirical Hard Times Token

ANA 2005.1.132

Hard Times Tokens were privately minted, cent-sized copper pieces produced between 1832 and 1844 during a period financial instability and coin shortages. President Jackson’s banking policies – specifically, moving federal deposits to favored private/state “pet banks ” and requiring specie for public land purchases – had destabilized the financial system, culminating in the Panic of 1837.

Amid financial instability and coin shortages, token manufacturers capitalized on their circulation to spread political satire, advertisements and social commentary. Tokens like this allowed ordinary Americans to express political opinions through everyday objects. For example, this token sharply criticizes Andrew Jackson. The obverse quotes Jackson’s justification for removing federal deposits from the Bank of the United States: “a plain system void of pomp.” With biting sarcasm, the reverse mocks Jackson’s interpretation of presidential power and the honorary degree awarded to him by Harvard University in 1833.
