Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/11/2017 9:28 pm Snagged this British coin that I think is an 1815 trade token, maybe British East India Co.? I've seen it before but can't remember where. It's similar to the Farthing/Half penny of the same era obverse bust of Geo I with date below , Britannia on reverse. Lettering on front at right of face says "TOKEN" (fairly sure) and reverse says "GENUINE BRITISH COPPER". Know what this animal is or where I can find info? The reverse lettering is what rang a bell for me but apparently not loud enough! Thanks all for the help. Report this Post to the Staff

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 01/11/2017 9:37 pm It looks like a half penny from Nova Scotia. Which one of the links below it would be depends on its diameter, or whether the edge is reeded or plain.
