Hey, I have this coin, as well as the same one from 1813. This one is an 1815 Half Penny Token. From what I have heard, this is from lower canada. Is there any information anyone knows about this?
You are correct. According to Charlton's Standard Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Tokens, 6th edition, "around 1920 a hoard of tokens, in "new condition", was discovered in the estate of the Nye family." There are two varieties catalogued. They are the counter-clockwise wreath(d1) and the clockwise wreath(d2). Yours is the counter-clockwise wreath. Yours is $30 in vf. The d2 in vf is $20. Hope this helps. Olmanjon The 1813 is $40 in vf for the copper version. The brass version is extremely rare.
