Br 716 - CH LC-4A2, the Rebellion Sou, issued in 1837, from dies engraved by Jean-Marie Arnault. Despite its denials, the Banque du Peuple, which issued this famous token, was known to support the Patriotes in the 1837 Rebellion. The appearance of both the star of liberty and the cap of liberty on the token’s reverse make it impossible to regard this as anything other than a coin which was intentionally and deliberately political. Upset reverse, EF.
This lot is part of the extensive George H. Thomson Collection.
