1844 Half Penny -Bank of Montreal Token-Extra Fine-40

Hello Followers, Visitors, Members and Friends from Collectors Weekly, 16-02-2017, 11:00 PM
Here is one item from my Banking Memorabilia collection, Bank of Montreal Token from 1844.
During the first half of the l9th 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.
