Nova Scotia 1832 Halfpenny Thistle Token. These were provincial copper tokens issued in the British colony of Nova Scotia (now part of Canada).
Token Details
Issuing Authority: Province of Nova Scotia, Canada.
Date: 1832.
Denomination: Halfpenny (1/2 Penny).
Material: Bronze/Copper.
Minted: Birmingham, England.
Reverse Design (shown): Features a two-leaved thistle head with the inscription "HALFPENNY TOKEN" around the top and the date "1832" at the bottom.
Obverse Design (not shown): The other side of the coin typically features a laureate and draped bust of King George IV, surrounded by the text "PROVINCE OF NOVA SCOTIA".
Historical Context: The colonial government had these tokens produced to address a shortage of official British currency at the time. Interestingly, the obverse features George IV, who had died in 1830 and was succeeded by William IV, indicating the dies were likely created before the news of the succession reached the manufacturer.
