A couple of years ago, coppernickeldaddy discussed his "un sou" here, stating that it was his favorite coin, although he suspected that it was counterfeited.

I just acquired in an auction what apparently is the #19 variety of 72 (as described in Courteau's definitive 1908 book) of this coin, although it is worn so that "Montreal", on the obverse, is worn almost to oblivion. It is indeed a nice coin, although I don't believe I'd be able to get much of a scan or photo of it, as it is rather dark.

Bouquet sous of all varieties are commonly found with dealers around the World, or at least that is my experience. To satisfy the needs of the whole population when they were issued, they must have been made in industrial quantities.

I have a couple in VF, but I haven't really researched them.

I didn't really have a question about my coin. Here's a link to the Courteau reference, thanks to Google books, in case anyone wants to do a bit of research.
