| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate and draped bust of George IV facing left, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail typical of early nineteenth-century British colonial coinage. The effigy shows the king with a ribbon tied at the nape of the neck. The circular legend PROVINCE OF NOVA SCOTIA surrounds the portrait, and the coin is bordered by a fine dentilated rim. |

Nova Scotia's colonial coinage in this period was driven almost entirely by the chronic shortage of small change — British regal copper rarely made it across the Atlantic in sufficient quantities, and American coins filled gaps unofficially. The 1832 issue was authorized by the Nova Scotia legislature and struck in Birmingham, part of a broader colonial practice of contracting private British minters to supply what the imperial system wouldn't.
Breton 871 is the standard attribution for this type, cross-referenced in the Charlton Colonial Token catalogue as NS-1D. Striking quality varies noticeably across surviving examples, a common outcome when colonial contracts prioritized volume over precision.
