Beaver Bullion New Brunswick One Penny Currency 1oz. .999 Fine Copper
This commemorative 1oz Copper Round is apart of the Beaver Bullion Bank Token Copper Series. This release commemorates the 1843/1854 New Brunswick One Penny Currency Token.
New Brunswick Half Penny & One Penny Currency Tokens
Under the provisions of the Currency Act of 1852, the Government of New Brunswick in June 1853 sought permission to issue a coinage of copper pennies and halfpennies. The coinage was struck by Ralph Heaton & Co. of Birmingham from modified reverse dies and new obverse dies. The dies were prepared by Leonard Charles Wyon, who used for the obverse the head punch of the contemporary English coinage. These head punches were the attractive "young head" of Victoria designed by William Wyon.
In 1860, New Brunswick adopted the decimal system, and no longer had need for the pennies and halfpennies of 1843 and 1854.
The reverse of the coin shows a frigate with sales furled.
