Canadian friends Help! Upper Canada early 1800's (Half)Penny Token

Toasted HalfPenny/Penny Token, closest one I can find is this one from upper canada...http://www.numicanada.com/medias/jetons/token-commercial-change-1821-g.jpg.
Obviously mine is a tad bit toasted but you see "Penny Token" on the top and "...R or P....Canada" on the bottom. The only thing I can see on the back is a possible "0" zero. .
Inquiring minds want to know and mine is full of inquery!!!

Looks like you correctly identified it.

I think this beats my oldest coin: 1848 Farthing, by about 25 years or so!

My oldest is an 1812 - 5 Francs (Big Silver)

I do believe you have the obverse correct, and also that the reverse is the commercial change type.

This narrows it down to....

Charlton:

UC-8A1
UC-9A2
UC-9A3
UC-10
UC-11


Is the die axis coinage or medal? The answer to that question either solves it, or narrows it down to 4.

 

[qaela4]

If I am correct about the "0" being part of 1820, it is a coin axis. With your information I was able to determine it is a "wide canada" strike.

 

[Iron Patch]

I think this is the correction orientation. If you hold the coin in this position and rotate it around, is the ship right side up, or upside down?

 

[qaela4]

Just about upside down.

 

[Iron Patch]

Just about upside down.

Then it's coinage, which is lucky because it's the one that IDs it, assuming I have it right which I believe I do.

Thanks, that's the exact link I used to help with my IDing the "wide canada" variant. You have been a great help Iron!

I'm pretty much at 100% now. With the zero in the 1820 date, and that matched with your ship obverse, it makes it UC-9A3... no other possibilities.
