| 正面铭文 | WHOLESALE & RETAIL HARDWARE STORE 1816 |
| 背面描述 | A merchant's trade emblem composed of two crossed shovels at the top of the field, a barrel inscribed NAILS SPIKES at the centre-bottom, a saw to the left, and a scythe to the right, all arranged symmetrically within a beaded border. The legend HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA curves around the periphery, identifying the issuing locality of this tradesman's token. |

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.
