| Reverse description | Central field displays the denomination 1/2 PENNY in two lines within an open wreath composed of an olive branch on the left and a palm or grain branch on the right, the two stems tied together at the base with a ribbon bow. The surrounding legend BANK TOKEN arcs across the upper field and MONTREAL curves along the lower periphery, all in bold upright Latin capitals. The design is clean and heraldic in character, typical of British colonial token coinage of the 1830s. |
