France made a number of Jetons for use in their Colonies, including in Canada. Jetons are counters for using on counting boards for doing mathematical calculations, and as such were not really a type of Token, but since Breton included them in his work, we include them here.

WELLINGTON TOKENS

Wellington tokens are named such because they have a portrait of Wellington on the obverse. Most were struck in England for use in England between 1812 and 1814, although one large issue are the 1812 types were for by English troops in Spain and Portugal during the Peninsular Campaign of the Napoleonic wars. A few are also of Irish origins. By some time in 1814 their use in England was banned so many were shipped to the British colonies for use, and some may have been carried over with British Troops sent to fight in the America's during the War of 1812. These tokens were used in Canada but their circulation here was limited, and mostly in Lower Canada.

In 1825 Canada banned the importation of private tokens, although those already in Canada continued to circulate. There were people who continued to make and bring in such tokens illegally, but had to put pre-1825 dates on them so they could claim they were already here before 1825. The Wellington tokens dated 1805 and those dated 1814 to 1816, are mostly of this status and probably all made after 1825 but their exact date of issue is not known.

UPPER AND LOWER CANADA

In 1791 the Constitutional act was passed, dividing the the British colony in Canada into the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, with the Province of Lower Canada being largely the southern portion of what is now the province of Quebec. In 1840 Upper and Lower Canada to again re-joined to become the British territory known as the Province of Canada.

PROVINCE OF CANADA

Because of the rebellion of 1837, the Constitutional Act of 1791 was suspended and in 1838 a special council was appointed to run the colony. In 1840 the Union Act was passed to re-unite the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada into the Province of Canada, although the act did not become official until 1841. Under the Province of Canada only bank tokens were issued and no merchant or private tokens were allowed. No Province of Canada tokens were issued after 1857, as the British government introduced 1, 5, 10 and 20 cent pieces in 1858 (which you will find listed under the appropriate headings of standard Canadian coins).

BLACKSMITH TOKENS

Blacksmith tokens refers to locally made counterfeit tokens made to pass in circulation as official coins and tokens. They are very difficult coins to grade as they made to look worn out so they would not stand out along side the worn official coins and tokens they copy. Even the nicest ones would only grade G to VG if you were grading on as one of the official coins they copy, when in fact as a blacksmith token they might actually grade VF or XF. Such counterfeiting was common all around the world at the time, and only those types believed to have actually been struck in Canada can be properly called Canadian Blacksmith tokens, and are identified by die variety. A full listing of the known types accepted as Canadian can be found in "A CHARLTON STANDARD CATALOGUE, CANADIAN COLONIAL TOKENS" book.

HUDSON BAY COMPANY

The Hudson Bay Company issues a variety of tokens between the 1850's and 1940's, and all are now getting difficult to find.

EAST MAIN DISTRICT

The East Main District was a region east and south of Hudson's Bay. Some time around or just after 1854 the Hudson Bay Company issued a set of four brass token denominated in 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 "made beaver". They are marked NB for Made Beaver due to an die cutters error in England where they were minted, but were used in spite of this error. Many of these tokens have a small punch mark at the bottom of the reverse, which is sometimes referred to as a cancellation, but it is now believed they punch marks mark them for use at a different trading area, and there is evidence they were made a few years after the un-punched examples.

LABRADOR DISTRICT

Labrador District tokens were first issued some time around 1919, to replace the "Parson's tokens". There are two different sets, the earlier type with the denominations 1, 5, 10 and 20, which were denominated in "Made Beaver" but do not have the MB on them, and the reverse is nearly blank. A later set was issued in 5, 10 and 20 denominations, and have the unites on the obverse, and the unit with "MB" on the reverse.

YORKTON SASKATCHEWAN

The Hudson's Bay store at Yorkton Saskatchewan was opened in 1898, but these tokens appear to have been issued sometime around WWI. The General manager had them minted and used them to pay local farmers for the produce they brought in. A full set of the tokens would include a 5, 10, 25 and 50 cents, as well as a $1.00 token. Today it is very difficult to assemble a full set.

ARCTIC

In 1946 the Hudson's Bay Company issued rather simple tokens for use in Arctic trading posts, with the primary reason for their use to teach the local Inuit how to work with the decimal monetary system. I have seen a Canada Film board documentary on the arctic, made about 1957 which has a scene shot inside of the HBC posts, where you can see these tokens piled on the counter in the background. The use of these tokens was discontinued in 1961.

The five main tokens are denominated in 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 cents which are sometimes collected as a set unto themselves. The large square token denominated as "1" (WHITE FOX) is technically part of this set but is also often collected by itself.

HBC 1970 Medals

45 MM STRUCK BRONZE

To commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Hudson's Bay Company in 1970, Dora de Petery Hunt was commissioned to design a series of three medallions for the HBC company, although do to size and other variations there are five types. A unique example was cast with the added inscription "CHURCHILL MANITOBA" for presentation to Governor General Roland Michener. 100 roughly 98 mm bronze castings of the regular design were made for presentation assorted VIP's. 47,000 were struck at 45 mm bronze to give to share holders with their 1970 annual reports, as well as to give to some staff. A fourth variation was created when 2463 shareholders medals were given a nickel silver finish and sold to the general public. A fifth variation were the 11,500 die struck at 39 mm bronze and then nickle silver plated for sale to the public either as loose medals, in lucite paper weights or as pendants. This information comes from MEDALS TOKEN AND PAPER MONEY of the HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY by Larry Gingras, published by the Canadian Numismatic Research Society, 1975).

45 mm struck bronze share holders medal,

While there should be nearly 47,000 of the 45 mm bronze medals, and only 11,500 of the 35 mm nickel silver plated bronze medals, in our experience the 45 mm examples are much harder to find.

LAMSON AND HUBBARD

Lamson and Hubbard was an American furrier from Boston who in 1918 which opened a Canadian division under the name Lamson and Hubbard Canada Company Ltd, to compete with the Hudson Bay Company in the Canadian North. They started by purchasing 7 pre-existing fur trading posts, but quickly built up to 35 posts, but lacked the financial resources to survive a recession in the early 1920's and went out of business in 1923. Their tokens were issued from Baker Lake in the Northwest Territories (now Nunavut) right around 1920. They are denominated in "Made Beaver" skins, just as many of the HBC tokens were.

BRETON TOKENS
POST CONFEDERATION

Breton Tokens are those tokens published in P.N. Breton's book "Popular Illustrated Guide to Canadian Coins, Medals, etc" in 1894, and includes items from both before and after Canadian confederation in 1867. In recent years, the items issues before confederation have come to be known as "Pre-Confederation tokens" and are listed separately.
