Guest Zoso65 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 My dad has had this token for 5 years and cant find any information on it, I was hoping someone here might know something about it. on one side theres wellingtons face and the other side it says wellington waterloo 1815. Its about the size of a quarter and looks to be copper. If I can get a good picture of it I'll post it later. Thanks for any information you can give me. Quote
krasnaya_vityaz Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I would have to dig out my Canada book, but I believe these things were issued as halfpenny tokens in Upper Canada(Ontario) right after Waterloo. In effect they were a necessity issue that also duly commemorated Wellington's victory. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I have a few Canadian tokens with Wellington on, that's what I suspected it was. Quote
Guest Aidan Work Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 'Coins of Canada' by J.A. Haxby & R.C. Willey lists a lot of Duke of Wellington pieces under Lower Canada (now Quebec).Some were struck for issue in Canada,but others were imported from England.Aidan. Quote
