| Obverse description | A full-length standing figure of a habitant (French-Canadian farmer) occupies the central field, depicted facing slightly to the right, dressed in traditional coat and breeches. The figure stands on a plain ground line, conveying a rustic, colonial character typical of Lower Canadian token iconography. A continuous circular legend surrounds the central device, reading PROVINCE DU BAS CANADA at the top and DEUX SOUS at the bottom. The entire design is enclosed within a dentilated border running along the rim. |
