Br 992 (Co. 47 NL, CH LC-53A1); Br 1002 (Co. 41 NL, CH LC 58A1); Br 1006 (Co. 45 W, CH WE-15); Br 1007 (Co. 46 NL, CH LC-59B1). All VF+. The busts of these pieces have never definitively been attributed, although a paper by R. W. McLachlan in The Numismatist (June 1916), puts forward the largely accepted view that the figure on Br 992 represents Lt.Col. Charles de Salaberry, and Br 1002 and 1006 that of Louis Joseph Papineau. The plausible identity of the figure on Br 1007 remains obscure. 4 Pcs.
