collectall Pillar of the Community Canada 610 Posts	Posted 09/18/2010 02:16 am According to Charlton,only 2 half-cents were minted for Nova Scotia. 1861 & 1864.On the reverse is a CROWN,(right in the middle) Also the word TOKEN is nowhere on the coins. Maybe thats' all it is a token of some kind ? (I hope this helps a bit) Anyone else? Report this Post to the Staff
coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 09/18/2010 08:05 am This is a half penny token of the province of Nova Scotia, when it was a crown colony, well before it issued the decimal 1/2 and 1 cent coins of 1862-1864. Possibly struck with a cupped die or with a slightly curved planchet- there seems to be a strong wear pattern from the reverse centre to the rim at IN of Province. Otherwise it looks great. It is made of bronze, I believe. It is beautiful. Report this Post to the Staff
