The above photo is of one of the items consigned to my next mail bid sale coming up in September. Although the incused lettering style is very much like other known Hudson Bay Company tokens, this specific one does not appear to have been discovered previously. It is made of aluminum (like other known HBC tokens), all inscriptions are incuse, and the size is 32mm.

The obverse is very well done, and appears genuine enough. The stamping on the reverse, however, seems to have been done by hand. I just wonder if that 1915 stamping could somehow relate to this event. I've tried many different sources and contacted other collectors for information but have not found anything else.
