Hi Guys

Found this Army Navy token at a lake yesterday. Says The Federal Union It Must And Shall Be Preserved.

Can anyone tell me how these ''replacement'' coins worked. I understand there was hoarding of currency after the war, but how were these tokens valued?

Also any suggestions on books on the Civil War? I think it's gonna be a long winter.... and I need to brush up on this

Thank You
