Pistareen Valued Member United States 309 Posts	Posted 04/04/2016 07:09 am This is a George III Irish half penny token circa 1812 - 1820. It is thinner than regal ha pence and may have circulated in Canada. My guess is clockmaker brass sheets were cut and hand stamped out on the frontier to make acceptable change on a slow day in the clockmaking business. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinzrock New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 04/04/2016 6:18 pm You have a rare Blacksmith token. Very good find! http://auctions.gbellauctions.com/B...th_i23266660 The copper version books a fair bit higher than the brass (like the one in the link), and it does appear from the picture yours is copper.
