ISBN:  9781907427718 (hc.) Alternate title:  Upper Canada coppers, 1815-1841 Description:  xxi, 418 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm Notes:  Includes index. Bibliography:  Bibliography: pages 397-407. Summary:  "The copper tokens which were issued for circulation in Upper Canada between 1815 and the formation of the Province of Canada in 1841. A general introduction is devoted to establishing something of the historical context - social, economic, and cultural - in which the Upper Canada coppers were issued and circulated. To that end, it is important to understand the growth and size of settlements in Upper Canada, of whom their populations consisted, in what occupations and leisure activities those populations were engaged, along with the economic foundations which led to trade and commerce and created the conditions necessary for the appearance of copper tokens. The second part is a descriptive catalogue of the various copper tokens known to have been issued for use in Upper Canada. The claim that "coins are like songs" conveys something more than the narrowest propaganda suggested by the emblems stamped upon them and the ubiquity of American silver coins in usage: the coppers are like popular songs because they sing their meaning everywhere and to all who hold them in their hands. They evoke a world of farmers and merchants, artisans and labourers, which was particular to Upper Canada, and part of the goal in this book is to try and recreate something of that world. The tokens sing the songs of people's lives and labours. There is a social and cultural as well as political and economic importance which attaches to Canada's early currency"--Provided by publisher.
