Set of 5 tokens. 1 peau de mouton (sheep), 10 sous Leroux 1071g. 1 peau de veau (veal), 12 sous Leroux 1071h. 1 peau de vache (cow), 80 sous Leroux 1071i. 1 peau de boeuf (beef), 100 sous Leroux 1071j. 1 peau de cheval (horse), 110 sous Leroux 1071k. These pieces were catalogued by Joseph Leroux in his second supplement c1897, and given further historical credence when listed by James J. Curto in his article "Indian and Post Trader Tokens: Our Frontier Coinage" that appeared in the August 1956 edition of the ANA's The Numismatist. Warren Baker in a 1995 fixed price list (catalogue 37) offered four of the fives pieces for $500., with perhaps a more realistic description of "these absurd pieces .... are clearly spurious, late nineteenth century fantasies" During the 1890s there were several pieces issued that could be given a similar description i.e. the Thomas Church pieces, and the Montreal Bridge tokens. Leroux suggests that the pieces were made by a Montreal collector to trade for other collector pieces.
