\ 1. Bank of Upper Canada Tokens.

 Rev. BANK TOKEN. ONE PENNY. The Seal of the old province of Upper 

 Canada, which consists of a sword and anchor crossed, with a toma- 

 hawk down the centre ; above is a crown, below two cornucopiœ, and 

 in the upper right corner a part of a Union Jack. Size 34 m. 



The St. George and the dragon figured on this coin is a copy of 

 Pistrucci's design, which appeared on the first British sovei-eign 

 struck in 1817. Neither it nor the obsolete seal of the old province of 

 Upper Canada have any emblematic reference to Canada. The coinage 

 of this bank, although the largest, is the least national of any. The 

 initials R. H. & Co. stand for Ralph Heaton & Co., of Birmingham.
