    What I enjoy about world coins like this, is seeing different designs for a change. I just found an Upper Canada Bank token from 1884 that is spectacular.

    Thanks for sharing Pam. Always nice to look at other people's finds. Some are new to me; others are like old friends.

    Here is an Upper Canada Half Penny, 1852, that I have owned since the 1950s. It and Mountain Man's are nice coins. HalfPennyUpperCanada1852IMG_9446.jpg HalfPennyUpperCanada1852ObverseIMG_9453(1).jpg

    Yeah, it is. I was getting confused by my Argentina 1 and 2 centavo coins of 1884.

    Very nice … The one to the left, what do you think happened? And for me, any foreign coin, any grade I’m pleased with.

    They are labeled Bank Tokens on the coin.
    Here is what CoinSite says about them:
    "The Bank of Upper Canada was given the right to make these copper coins during the civil unrest in Montreal in 1849. They are dated from 1850-1857 and show St. George slaying a dragon with the date below on the obverse and a crown, anchor and cornucopia on the reverse. They are very plentiful and most bring approximately US$1."
