Montreal, Lower Canada (struck in New Jersey), copper "bouquet-sou" token, Agriculture & Commerce, no date (1835-8), bouquet pointing to N of CANADA, edge-clip and complete brockage on reverse (very rare error), ex-Baker. Breton-701; Courteau-31; KM-Tn5; LC-29D1. 7.34 grams. Dramatic error with entire obverse (bouquet side) visible in mirror image on reverse (complete brockage, first example ever seen on any of the issues struck in Belleville, New Jersey), also with as-made edge-clip, VF for wear (even dark brown color), hence well circulated despite its unusual appearance. Pedigreed to the Warren Baker Collection of Canadian coins and tokens and to the Jeffrey Hoare auction of January 2013, with original lot-tag 392.
