George Washington Inaugural / First President Souvenir Token (Holed)

Brief Description

The token features a bust of George Washington, facing right. Around the top edge, the inscription reads "1789 1ST PRE" on the left and "SIDENT USA 1797" on the right. Below the bust, the words "GEORGE WASHINGTON" are inscribed. There is a hole at the top, indicating it was likely used as a pendant or charm.

Historical Significance

This is a souvenir token commemorating George Washington, the first President of the United States, and his presidential terms (1789-1797). It is not a legal tender coin but a privately issued item created for collectors or tourists. The hole suggests it was intended for wear.

Estimated Value

Very low, typically $1-$5 (due to being a souvenir token and having a hole)

Care Instructions

Avoid harsh cleaning, as this can devalue the token. Store in a dry, room-temperature environment in a non-PVC holder or display case to prevent further tarnishing or damage. Handle by the edges if possible.
