Found a trio of interesting copper coins/tokens on my last hunt.
Bouquet sou were a series of tokens that were created for use primarily within Lower Canada in the mid- to late-1830s. Roughly equivalent in value to a half penny, the "bouquet sou" were so called because they displayed a group of heraldic flowers tied together with a ribbon on their obverse.There are 51 varieties of this token.
The 1858 LC was the first year the penny was issued in Canada.It was minted in London thou.
And lastly,my favourite is the P.EI. 1855 Fisheries and Agriculture one cent token.

Nice finds! I dig plenty of LCs and Canadian tokens here as well being just south of the border. Ironically I dug my first Bouquet token just last week. 51 varieties of those things huh? Geez. Do you have a good reference ID source for those?
