Canadian Countermark - DS (David Smillie) within rectangular cartouche twice on obv. of Bank of Montreal ½ penny, 1844, Br 527 (M.I. 840).

David Smillie, Jr. [1804-65] was from an important family of enterprising engravers, skilled in the allied arts. He took as his trade that of working jeweller - really a silversmith. He was located variously at Quebec, New York and then Montreal, where the David Smillie marks were likely issued.
