This British Columbia Gold token was struck by the jewelry firm of Jacoby Bros. Ltd in Vancouver, Canada. Used along the same lines as California fractional Gold where Precious Metals were trusted and paper money was not, these tokens harken back to a time when circulating money had real intrinsic value. 9 kt. 13mm, .59 gms.
