| Reverse description | A wreath of eighteen cherry leaves, tied at the base and incorporating two shamrocks, encircles the central field bearing the denomination expressed as UN SOU. The legend TOKEN appears in the upper exergue and MONTREAL in the lower exergue, all in Latin script. The wreath is rendered with fine detail, with individual ovate leaves arranged symmetrically on either side. The overall design is characteristic of the Belleville token series produced for circulation in Lower Canada during the 1835–1838 period. |
