Bank of Montreal "Bouquet Sous" Tokens

There are two main groups of Bouquet Sou tokens. This first series (LC-2A1 thru LC-3A6) was ordered by the Bank of Montreal but in their ignorance of the French language, the mint that was contracted to produce them engraved "SOUS" (the plural form of the word) on the reverse instead of the correct term of "SOU".
