Store Card
A specific category of Civil War token issued by an individual merchant or private business.  One or both sides of a store card display the name, address, or product of a specific shop or business (acting as a functional advertisement alongside serving as small change).  Some store cards paired a custom business-advertising die with a standard patriotic die on the reverse, while others featured business advertisements on both sides.
