1808 Canadian Cheval Bridge Token

1808 Canadian Bridge Cheval Token, Breton-540. Copper, 28 mm. Bout de l'Isle bridge token issued in 1808 to pay a toll across many of the bridges that connected the east end of Montreal Island (the Bout de l'Isle) with the mainland via Isle Bourdon. Four different types were used: caleche (carriage), charrette (wagon), cheval (horse), and personne (person). The token offered here was used from l'Isle de Montreal to Repentigny or Lachesnaye and is a cheval type. The condition is typical, as many of the pieces were clipped when they were used.
