    Here's a picture of one I found on the Internet.

    They were made available as a Souvenir of Memorial Services at Springfield, Illinois.

    Glad I could help. :D

    This looks like King # 249, He lists it in white metal only @38.5mm. It should show "Linck St. Louis" in small letters on the bust. No other info provided.

    In the "very rare but not very valuable" category. Supply, meet demand. Lincoln campaign tokens have a much higher demand.

    What does the '15' under the bow on the reverse signify? Cheers, RickO

    The date "15" is directly above the month of his death, April. Date of his death.

    Generally yes, but I've ben surprised occasionally at the auction prices I've realized on Lincoln tokens sold on eBay - not campaign item prices but enough to make it worthwhile to list them. If the OP wants to sell it, that's where I would go and show the King # in the heading. Might get lucky.
