| Reversbeschreibung | Central field features the denomination inscription UN SOU in two lines, enclosed within a wreath of cherry branches bearing 21 leaves — a distinguishing variety characteristic notably absent of shamrocks. The wreath is tied at the base with a small bow. The peripheral legend TOKEN arcs across the upper portion of the coin and MONTREAL runs along the lower portion, both separated from the central wreath by the inner beaded border. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The "Bouquet Sou" series circulated in Lower Canada during a period when the colonial government had utterly failed to provide adequate small change, leaving private merchants and banks to fill the void with their own copper tokens. This particular variety — distinguished by its 21 cherry leaves and the absence of shamrocks — is one of numerous die combinations documented within the type, and the differences between varieties were almost certainly invisible to the farmers and labourers spending them daily.
The tokens continued circulating well past Confederation, with some examples known in use into the 1890s despite their unofficial status.
