Description

UNITED STATES: AE token, 1833, HT-70, PCGS graded AU58, "I Take The Responsibility" Hard Times Token. The obverse depicts President Andrew Jackson inside an empty chest - which alludes to his looting of the Treasury. The reverse depicts President Jackson through the imagery of a donkey with an LL.D. on its side - which is a mockery of Jackson's honorary law degree received from Harvard in 1833, strongly disapproved of by alumnus John Quincy Adams; the Veto beneath the donkey is a reference to his stance against any legislation in favor of the Second Bank.
