A Civil War store token not often seen, from Philadelphia

Partly due to the unusually large diameter of 31mm. (similar to a U.S. 50 cent issue): PA-750T-1b. R-7. Brass, with reeded edge. Note the incorrect spelling of the street name, which is correctly spelled Chestnut. I wonder if Stokes may have rejected these from the die sinker on this basis.

Too bad the surfaces aren't a little better, but hey, sometimes you can't have everything, right?
I wonder if "Chesnut" is an archaic alternate spelling? I mean, it wasn't as standardized back then...
