| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude imitation effigy of George III facing left, depicted with a laureate head in a rough, provincial style characteristic of contemporary counterfeit regal coinage. The bust is rendered in low relief with simplified facial features and minimal drapery detail. No legend appears in the field or around the periphery. The overall workmanship reflects the emergency, unofficial nature of this token issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
These brass imitations of British regal halfpennies flooded Lower Canada during the 1820s and 1830s to fill a chronic shortage of authorized small change. They were produced privately — almost certainly in Birmingham — and entered circulation without any official sanction, tolerated simply because nothing else was available. The CCT BL-13 designation places this piece within Breton and Courteau's classification of the so-called "blacksmith" and imitation series, a loose grouping of unofficial coppers that dominated petty commerce in the St. Lawrence valley for decades.
