Description
Two tokens issued during the American Civil War, by the Felix Dining Saloon, a Jewish restaurant in New-York.

2. Obverse: Name and address of the restaurant and the Hebrew word "Kosher". Reverse: the Union Shield and the legend: "Constitution and the Union".
During the American Civil War, coins were hoarded and became scarce. Privately issued tokens filled the gap, issued by a wide range of merchants. Even though many Jewish merchants issued tokens, only the Felix Dining Saloon token has Hebrew letters
