LC-58A1 Lower Canada Ships Colonies & Commerce Bust Design Half Penny Token Extra Fine (EF-40) 

It has been suggested that the bust belonged to British Prime Minister Canning, but that would be in error, as Canning was bald. An alternative would be Louis Joseph Papineau, but ultimately the bust has never been definitively identified.

Obverse: Bust wearing a suit facing right, within a beaded circle.
Reverse: Inscription on four lines.

LC-58A1 Variety: The sleeve is open, the lower serif of the first "S" in SHIPS points to the left of the first "O" in COLONIES.
