This Ships Colonies & Commerce token is an interesting piece of 19th-century Canadian numismatic history. Often associated with Prince Edward Island, these halfpenny tokens served as essential currency for maritime trade during the 1830s. The design features a prominent sailing ship on the obverse, reflecting the vital role of commerce and colonial expansion during this era.

This specimen remains in ungraded condition, displaying the character and historical appeal typical of copper tokens from this period. Collectors of Canadian colonial currency and maritime trade history will appreciate the imagery and design elements that make these pieces a staple of early provincial numismatics.

Please note that this item is sold as-is. It serves as an addition for those building a collection of 19th-century trade tokens or regional Canadian coinage.

Approximately 26 mm in diameter with a plain edge. The ampersand appears consistent with the cut-knob group, but no exact PE-10 die-variety attribution is guaranteed. Please use the photographs to make your own determination.
