It's very old. What is written on it? Nice token!

I think those Canadian tokens date to the 1830s or so

We had a similar token here on TN over 4 years ago; a Bouquet Sou (1/2 penny):

I have made a new thread for this token it is CANADA TOKEN IN TENNESSEE. HH.

I'd rather dig a token then a pull tab.

I found this token under about a foot of dirt next to a church that has a lot where the Nuns once lived before the building burned down (70+ years ago.) Other than getting informed that it is a "Token", no one has been able to say what type and why it is blank on both sides inside the design on the edges.

That was a poker chip so the nuns could place bets!
I could id it as theirs because it had "nun" marks on it. LOL
