Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 12:39 am It appears to be a token of Irish origin (as indicated by the harp design). I couldn't elaborate further as it's not my area of expertise. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9875 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 02:10 am Yes, it's a Lower Canada, Bust and Harp, halfpenny token. Most of these that exist are contemporary counterfeits. I'm not an expert and can't say if yours is one of the originals struck in Ireland, or one of the imitations. Hopefully an expert will chime in.

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 10:45 am I do not think it is fake. Why would somebody make a well worn replica of a coin the is not rare to find. Here is an imitation: http://www.coinsandcanada.com/token...-1820&id=240 Report this Post to the Staff

CONTEMPORARY counterfeit means they were made about the same time as the original, they were not struck in well worn condition, they circulated widely and earned their often worn condition honestly.

nelson9225 Valued Member 270 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 8:13 pm It's a lower canada half penny token many of these tokens such as the tiffin and other such tokens were counterfieted back then because of a lack of coinage. * Edited by Staff to remove YELLING.
