Here's a bit more information for you on your Canadian Penny find.

Bank of Montreal Token 1844 - A relatively common Half Penny token showing the front view of the Bank of Montreal. It was issued in two years, 1842 and 1844. The tokens were struck by Boulton and Watt in denominations of penny and halfpenny.

Just to clarify, that 'Boulton and Watt' were the inventors of this first steam pressed coin mill/machine which produced the 1797 cartwheel pennies (hated & only made for that year). They worked from a mint in Birmingham, UK.

Thanks for the clarification Cru, guess I left out a couple of the key points!

not really, just making sure people understood where 'Boulton and Watt' worked from, in case people thought Canada.
