| Aversbeschreibung | A three-masted fully-rigged sailing vessel occupies the central field, depicted under sail on a calm sea rendered by horizontal lines in the exergual area. The ship's rigging, masts, and billowing sails are rendered in fine detail characteristic of early nineteenth-century token engraving. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border. The circular legend reads SUCCESS TO THE COMMERCE OF UPPR & LOWR CANADA, separated by a period stop, running around the periphery. The coin illustrated bears a hole at the top, consistent with use as a suspension piece. |

Isaac Brock died at Queenston Heights in October 1812, killed by a sniper's bullet during one of the decisive engagements of the War of 1812. These copper tokens were not government issue — they circulated as merchant tokens to address the chronic small-change shortage that plagued Upper Canada throughout the early nineteenth century, a problem the colonial administration persistently failed to solve through official coinage. The timing of Brock's death made his face commercially useful almost immediately; his battlefield death elevated him to hero status in British Canada within weeks.
Breton 723 is the standard attribution, though die-struck varieties exist with differing edge treatments.
