Description: This is a great collector's coin and has done very well in auctions; will only increase in value. Between 1850 and 1857 the Bank of Upper Canada issued a series of handsome penny and halfpenny copper tokens. The obverse of a penny token issued in 1850 is shown and features a St. George and the dragon motif encircled by the legend BANK OF UPPER CANADA and the date. The St. George motif was designed by Benedetto Pistrucci for the British sovereign of 1817 and is considered to be the definitive representation of the theme. The token is about the size of a Canadian silver dollar and is part of the National Currency Collection, Bank of Canada. All coins posted at the asking price has been thoroughly researched via PCGS and NGC Price Guides as well as the most recent sales through established and prominent auctions. The coin condition has also been researched through these as well. No coin price listing by Bolen Collectables is based on opinion. Thanks for looking!
