Comment
In 1847, 100 pounds sterling was rated at 225 pounds currency but this was abolished on 13 January 1847 after which standard sterling applied. This token is denominated as sterling (stg) so its issue is placed after that date. The date on the token, 1836 is believed to be the date of the founding of the Hornel & Coltart company, merchants in St. John.
Five die varieties exist. Occasionally found countermarked with incuse 1, 2, 3 or 4 presumed to indicate a heightened exchange rate.
