Note: On the obverse of this token it appears that the large star cut out removed the early days "16 to 1" name of Gies" Saloon. The 16 to 1 ratio of silver to gold coinage was an issue in Presidential and other election campaigns from 1894 to about 1900.

Richard Gies ran a Saloon in Great Falls at 120 Central Avenue from the late 1890's to the arrival of Prohibition in Montana in 1919. As noted above, in the early days this Saloon was called the 16 to 1 Saloon.

Business Directory listings for Richard Gies can be found in just about all Gazetteers of his day. See, for example, the 1900 Montana R. L. Polk.
