1947 Token TC-492613 Copper Montreal & Lachine Railroad Company

Coin Details

Description

This 1947 copper token cataloged as TC-492613 features the Montreal & Lachine Railroad Company, one of the earliest railroad companies in Canadian history. The Montreal and Lachine Railroad, completed in 1847, was the first railway in the Province of Canada, connecting Montreal to the town of Lachine on the St. Lawrence River. This token, produced on the railroad's centennial in 1947, commemorates a century of rail transportation in the Montreal region. While technically a Canadian subject, the token is cataloged within American numismatic references due to its production or distribution through American numismatic channels. Railroad tokens and medals are actively collected, and centennial pieces for historically significant railroads attract interest from both numismatic and railroad history enthusiasts.
