{"title":"Province of Canada","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBecause 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 re-united 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 allowed so no merchant or private tokens could be legally issued. The last Province of Canada tokens were issued in 1857, as the British government introduced 1, 5, 10 and 20 cent pieces in 1858 which while issued prior to confederation most collectors consider them to be Canadian coins so I list them under the appropriate headings of standard Canadian coins).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/6584\/0346\/collections\/PC_1A2VF_crop.jpg?v=1736281308","url":"https:\/\/www.calgarycoin.com\/collections\/province-of-canada.oembed","provider":"Calgary Coin Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
