附加信息	The Quebec Bank tokens of 1837 were issued privately during a period when the colonial government had utterly failed to provide adequate small change — a chronic problem in the Canadas that predated Confederation by decades. That same year, the Rebellions of Lower Canada erupted under Louis-Joseph Papineau, and the financial disruption that followed drove hoarding of whatever metallic currency existed. Bank-issued copper filled the vacuum. Most of these tokens were struck in Birmingham by contract manufacturers supplying the Canadian trade token market wholesale. The LC-9B designation distinguishes this by specific die marriage within the broader Quebec Bank token family.
