| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is entirely blank, with no devices, legends, or decorative elements struck. The plain copper field shows only surface marks and metal flow consistent with a uniface striking. This absence of reverse design confirms the piece was struck from a single obverse die only, a characteristic feature of this emergency imitation issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Regal imitations occupied a legal grey zone in early nineteenth-century Canada. With chronic small-change shortages and no domestic mint, merchants and token issuers produced copper pieces closely imitating official British regal coinage — close enough to circulate without question, distinct enough to avoid a direct forgery charge. The CCT BL-18 is uniface, suggesting either a planchet failure, a trial strike, or a piece deliberately made one-sided, possibly as a check piece or from a defective press run.
By 1835, British authorities were already moving to suppress the token trade in the colonies, a campaign that would intensify through the 1840s.
