This 1824 Nova Scotia penny is a semi-official copper token from Nova Scotia, Canada, issued to ease a chronic shortage of small change. It represents a bold step by the provincial legislature to bypass the British Home Office by ordering these tokens from a private Birmingham firm.

Obverse features the laureate head of King George IV. The reverse displays a prominent thistle, a design element that reflects the token’s provincial character and public reception.
