Tokens with Breton #s not in the Charlton Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Tokens (10th Edition)


Breton 700 Series Part 1: Token numbers Br-733 to Br-764



While a large number of the tokens listed in P.N. Breton's catalogues from 1894 and 1912 are listed and re-catalogued in the 10th Edition of the Charlton Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Tokens, not all tokens were re-catalogued.
This section details most of the "700 Series" Breton tokens not found in the Charlton catlogue.
