Canadian Countermark

JG TODHUNTER PORTAGE (in circle) counterpunched on rev. of British George III ½ penny, 1806 (Brunk T-337); JGT counterpunched on planed obv. of East India Company half anna. 2 Pcs.

We don’t have a source for the attribution of the second mark to J.G. Todhunter other than the entry on the coin’s envelope. A James Gillespie Todhunter, likely the same man, co-wrote a 15 page pamphlet titled Canada and the Union Jack, published in 1912.
