Civil War gold

Civil War gold refers to the gold and silver coins, bullion, and valuables accumulated or hidden during the American Civil War (1861-1865). It includes assets acquired by individuals, banks, and government entities that played a role in financing war efforts or safeguarding wealth amid economic instability. The term often arises in discussions about historically significant treasure or losses from that era. While some Civil War gold was officially used to support military operations, much remains as part of historical intrigue, with various stories about hidden caches or recovered treasures that continue to fascinate collectors and historians.
