Can someone tell me what they are, an estimate value, and some of their history. I can't find anything on the internet related to these coins. Here are the specs: Token 1 Front: Has "British Columbia" on the top and "Colombie Britannique" on the bottom Token 1 Back: Says "Pacific Dogwood" and "Cornouiller Du Pacifique" Given Date: 1871 Token 2 Front: Says "Saskatchewan" on the top and bottom Token 2 Back: Says "Prarie Lily" on top, and "Lis La Prarie" on bottom Given Date: 1905 I wil post more when time permits Report this Post to the Staff

Being Canadian, you probably already knew that. Without more information, or pictures of some kind, it's going to be much harder to find anything in the wide, wide world of small shiney round things.

The dates indicate what year that province entered Confederation. They usually go for about 50 cents in dealers misc, boxes around here.
