Vintage Canada, Regina, Sk, Wascana R.A. Chapter No. 1 Masonic Penny Token (wear)
Wascana Lodge was founded in 1883, predating Saskatchewan as a province by over twenty years. A member of this Lodge carried this vintage penny token -- evidently quite closely, given the wear visible on the reverse. Penny tokens like this one are common amongst Freemasons. They reference the Biblical Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, wherein dependable labourers are rewarded with one "penny" (more accurately, a Roman denarius) for their work. To Masons, this story represents the rewards of faithful labour.
