Ships, Colonies, and Commerce Tokens Öffentlichkeit Deposited
The name given to a series of copper tokens issued in the early part of the nineteenth century for use in Canada. They are so called from the inscription on one side, the reverse bearing a ship or a bust.
There are about forty minor varieties. See Breton (997-1002).
