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


Breton 800 Series Part 1: Token numbers Br-800 to Br-824



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 "800 Series" Breton tokens not found in the Charlton catlogue.

Center: (image of a bull facing left)
Text from Breton's 1894 catalogue:
"One hundred issued ; struck from composite dies. They are good for one quart of milk, and are still in use. These coins do not add to the reputation of the designer, for the device is more appropriate for a slaughter-house than a dairy."
Breton's magnificent joke considering the image is that of a bull, not a cow.
