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


Breton 900 Series: Token numbers Br-901 to Br-939



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