Hi Guys & Gals, Try as I might I cannot identify my metal detecting find. Pics are going to be terrible. I have pulled out the following words but cannot raise a date. The words appeared to have flattened out or collapsed and some are partial. Any help would be much appreciated. Hope you all have been well in my absence. The words are COMMERCE-BAS-CANADA-MONTREAL-UN SOL-AGRICU (lture?) Possible token?
Hmmmm, kinda like a Canadian hard times token. Wikipedia has a more detailed entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouquet_sou
It is a mid-late 1830s Lower Canadian 'Bouquet Sou,' a bank token with a value equivalent to a British Halfpenny (widely used in the Canadas at that time). There are many types, and without better photos, I can't really offer more of an ID.
