Thomas Elder Token New York coin dealer issued a series of tokens about 1908 featuring a close copy of the Canadian Bouquet Sou Br.690 and using 4 different reverses. He attended the 1909 ANA convention in Montreal and brought these specimens and handed them out to collector friends. The dies apparently were not destroyed and modern pieces were made using large planchets. These planchets were 45 mm in diameter and this specimen is copper. They are uniface and Unc. They were produced sometime in the 1950’s or 60’s.
