Up for sale, a 1844 Bank of Montreal half penny token. During the first half of the 19th century there was a chronic shortage of small coins in Lower Canada. In 1835, following a government decision to remove all the lightweight pieces from circulation, the shortage became acute. No official coins were issued but the Bank of Montreal, the Quebec Bank, the City Bank and La Banque du Peuple were given authority to issue penny and halfpenny tokens of a weight similar to that of British copper coins. This appears to be the "Big Trees" variety. The coin you see in the photos is what you get. No switched out coins, no "stock" photos. I have a seven day money back guarantee.
