Token Canada Nova Scotia Hosterman Halfpenny 1814 and 1815

The 1814 version of this token from Nova Scotia is more rare than the 1815 version. These were used in commerce to supplement official coinage which was in short supply. Such tokens are avidly sought by collectors.

Some typical catalog values for the 1815-dated tokens are:

TOKENS DATED 1815
worn: $10 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $45
well preserved: $100
fully uncirculated: $350

If you have the 1814-dated token, double these values due to its rarity.
