1841 Large Cent Brothel Token

This piece is an 1841-dated large cent brothel token — a fascinating example of 19th-century Americana that straddles the line between numismatics and social history. Brothel tokens, sometimes called "love tokens" or "sporting house" tokens, were privately issued pieces used as currency or admission tokens in establishments of the era. This example is dated 1841 and is sized and styled in the manner of the large cent of the period, making it an intriguing conversation piece for collectors of American tokens, exonumia, and early Americana.
