Which Canadian coins were made before the Confederation?
Before the Confederation of Canada in 1867, various coins were made in the regions that would later become part of Canada. These included coins produced by the French for New France, such as the silver-based SOL and denier, and copper coins issued by the British colonies. Additionally, local currencies and tokens were widely used, particularly in the 19th century due to a shortage of official coins. Provincial governments also issued their own coins, notably in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, where copper tokens and later bronze and silver coins were produced. These coins often featured the portrait of the reigning British monarch on the obverse and provincial symbols or inscriptions on the reverse.
