56 EGBERT WALLACE McLACHLAN ON THE 



17. Obr. HALFrENNY TOKEN 1815 Bust of Geofge III to the right. 



Rev. ■ PAYABLE BY JOHN ALBXR. BARKY ■ HALIFAX A ship Under full Sail to the right. Copper. Size 2<; m. 

 There are three varieties of this coin, differing mainly in the size and position of the date. 



18. Obv. WHOLESALE & RETAIL HARDWARE STORE Ex. ISIG A large building with a gateway in the centre. 

 Rev. HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA A keg standing on end inscribed round the centre spikes and on the end nails ; 



above it are two spades crossed, to the left a scythe and to the right a sickle. Copper. Size 25 m. 



The building represented on this token was no doubt the warehouse of the firm issuing the coin. It seems 

 to have been a wooden structure with no architectural beauty worthy of commemoration. 



19. Obv. Same as the last. 



Eev. PAYABLE AT w. A A s. ei.ack's. HALIFAX. N. s. Device Same as the last. Copper. Size 25 m. 



The name of the firm having been omitted from the previous token, a new die was made and the issue of 

 the earlier tokens stopped. As the building on Nos. 6 and 7 are similar to the one displayed on this coin, they 

 were probably issued by the same firm. 



20. Obv. PAYABLE AT THE STORE OF J BROWN A ship, with sails furled, to the right. 

 Rev. NEMO ME iMPUNE LACESsiT A fouT-leaved thlstle. Copper. Size 26 m. 



This token is described as a Scottish token by Lindsay in his second supplement to the Coinage of Scotland, 

 No. 94, page 28 ; but without assigning it to any place. He mentions two varieties difiering as to size, but I have 

 only seen one. The style of workmanship, especially of the thistle, differs altogether from any other Nova 

 Scotian coin. 



21. Obv. PAYABLE AT W. L. WHITE'S. HALIFAX HOUSE HALIFAX. N.S. In the field: ONE | FARTHING. 



Rev. w. L. white's, halipax house HALIFAX. In the field, cheap | dry | goods | stoke Copper. Size 22 m.

22. Obv. ROBERT HOPWOOD & SON | NOVA SCOTIA | CROSSFIELD & | WELLINGTON | MILLS 



Rev. Arms. Motto gradatim. Date 1852, 



I have not been able to locate either Crossfield or Wellington Mills. The above coin is said to have been 

 struck for a proposed firm of millers that intended to commence operations in Nova Scotia in 1852. No specimen 

 exists in Canada This and the following coins were Intended as advertisement cards rather than for circu- 

 lation.

 underneath is the date 1882. 



Rev. blaklby & co» | great dry | salt goods | warehouse | Halifax | n. s | O"- granville & duke st. Brass- 

 Size 28 m. 



The obverse of this coin is a copy of the ten dollar piece of the United States. An evident mistake has 

 been made in the expression " dry salt goods." As the coin was struck in England where the name drapers is 

 applied to what are called dry goods merchants in this country, the die makers, believing it had something to do 

 with dried codfish, added the word salt.

This was used as a ticket on a ferry between Halifax and Dartmouth. It was for a time very rare, but as 

 some time ago a large hoard was found in the office of the company it is now common.
