Actually, now that I think of it, you could potentially take this lack of clarity in my mind as a hint. Or maybe it was just a long day at work.

It seems the Bank of Upper Canada didn't issue anything til 1850. This has to be from the Bank of Montreal, right?

joe you missed the black eye on that quote. Much better when it was in there.

1. This coin is not from the USA.
2. This coin was minted before 1845.
3. This coin was minted after 1776.
4. This coin is not from Europe.
Hint #1: It may have been struck in Europe but was meant to be used in a European colony.
5. Minted after 1800.
6. This coin was meant to be used somewhere in the Americas.
7. In fact, north of Panama.
8. But this country is not primarily an island. In other words, there are some number of islands off shore from the mainland.
9. In fact this country lies north of the 44th north parallel.
10. While Spain made a half-hearted attempt to colonize this country, I think that Spain was much more focused on regions to the south.
11. This coin was minted after 1823.
Hint #2: While these pieces like this one did circulate, it is best described as a bank token.
12. This coin was not issued by the colony of Lower Canada.

Well, if my guess is incorrect, I only see two other (quite expensive) possible options.
