Pattern / Fantasy Token - Copper Company of Upper Canada (British Settlement Kentucky Mule) Obv: BRITISH SETTLEMENT KENTUCKY / (Two female figures with children) / Rev: ONE HALF PENNY / COPPER COMPANY OF UPPER CANADA Two years after he struck the 1794 patterns for the Copper Co. of Upper Canada halfpenny, Matthew Boulton produced another pattern intended for a North American token. An Englishman named P.P.P. Myddleton had acquired a parcel of land in Kentucky and planned to establish a plantation, the "British Settlement Kentucky". In 1796 Boulton struck proofs of Myddelton's token in copper and silver, but Myddelton's plantation scheme came to nothing. That same year, Boulton created a mule piece for sales purposes, using the obverse die from the Myddelton and the reverse die from the Copper Co. of Upper Canada token. The mules seem to have only been struck in copper and fewer than 25 are believed to have survived. |
