| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece belongs to a class of Nova Scotia merchant tokens issued in the years following the War of 1812, when a chronic shortage of small British regal coinage left colonial retailers with little choice but to produce their own circulating copper. The "Wholesale and Retail Hardware Store" attribution is vague by design — the issuing merchant has never been conclusively identified, which has fueled collector debate for well over a century.
Breton 892 is among the scarcer attributions in the Nova Scotia token series.
