<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Denis Richard, post: 26038048, member: 112673&quot;]I have one of those.&nbsp; I like Canadian pre-confederation tokens. This is the Habitant token, showing a classic image of a French-Canadian farmer in traditional winter clothing, holding a whip, though, to me, he looks under dressed for Quebec&#039;s winter. These &quot;semi-regal&quot; tokens were approved by the colonial government and impressively stayed in use for over 60 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1655592[/ATTACH]</p><p>On the back, a group of heraldic flowers is surrounded by the phrase &quot;Concordia Salus&quot; (the Bank of Montreal&#039;s motto.) &quot;Well-being through harmony&quot;, is the English translation. It first appeared on Montreal&#039;s CoA in 1833, and it is still there today. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1655591[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And one from upper Canada. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1655595[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1655596[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
