| 背面描述 | Crude seated figure of Britannia facing right, depicted with a long spear held vertically in her right hand and a spray of leaves in the left, resting upon a raised platform or plinth. The execution is extremely rough and schematic, with angular, deeply cut lines rendering the figure in a primitive style. A circular border surrounds the design, with remnants of a crudely incised peripheral legend, largely illegible due to the coarse workmanship of this emergency imitative issue. |

This piece belongs to a class of privately issued tokens that flooded Lower Canada in the 1830s when chronic small-change shortages left the colonial economy functionally unable to make change. The British government had largely stopped supplying regal copper to the provinces, and merchants, banks, and speculators filled the void — often at significant profit, since the copper value of these tokens was well below their face circulation value.
The CCT BL-15 attribution places this within the Bouquet Sou family documented by Canadian colonial token specialists. George III had been dead twenty years by 1835; his image here is essentially borrowed iconography, not a current monarch's portrait.
