Alan Pillar of the Community Canada 1463 Posts	Posted 07/13/2017 3:56 pm I don't know anything about it, but these sorts of store tokens can be interesting, is in nice shape many are not. I like that it has that beading on the inside like the old pennies. This was a way for a business to gain capital and reward their customers by giving them a slight break on the cost of a consumer unit on the token.
