CANADA, Province of Nova Scotia, brass 1/2 penny "mayflower" token, Victoria, 1856, made into a pin with reverse enameled in gold, blue, white, green and red, ex-Oppenheim, ex-Baker. Breton-876; Courteau-316; NS-5A2. 6.15 grams. Beautiful and perfectly preserved enameling (contemporaneously done), the obverse light brass in color and slightly grainy but with no damage except for the pin-posts, somewhat rare in brass. This pretty "mayflower" design was struck by the Heaton Mint in Birmingham under proper authorization. Pedigreed to the Warren Baker Collection of Canadian coins and tokens, and to the Michael Oppenheim Collection (9/2019).
