About This Coin
The North West Company Token group of the Post-1776 Private and Regional Issues (1778-1820) series holds the pieces described below. The North West Company, the fur-trading rival of the Hudson's Bay Company, issued tokens dated 1820, its last year under that name before the two companies merged in 1821 (search). They show a royal bust and the date on one side and a beaver with the company name on the other, were struck in brass and copper, and were usually holed; many have been found along the lower Columbia River (search).
