CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA. There are seemingly well-authenticated records that the Confederate States of America, after seizing the mint at New Orleans, made preparations for the coinage of money. Especially, a reverse die was made for a Halfdollar with which it was proposed to use the obverse die of the then current Half-dollar of the United States. The specimen here described is a United States Half-dollar restruck with a restored die, copied from one of the very few alleged genuine specimens of the Confederate States Half-dollar. 1689. AR.

Since the incorporation of the British North American colonies into the Dominion of Canada in 1867, there has been a single series of coins issued for the entire country, except Newfoundland, for which there is a separate coinage. The special coinage for both countries is restricted to silver and bronze in denominations from One cent to Fifty cents or Half-dollar. The standard of these coins conforms to that of the subsidiary coins of the United States. No distinctive gold coin is issued for the colony, British and United States gold coins supplying that need. Until 1908 coins for Canada were all struck in England, but in that year a mint was opened at Ottawa, where the coins of the colony are now struck, but with the same designs as before employed and with no distinguishing mark of the mint. Of much greater interest than the legitimate coinage of the country are the numerous and extensive series of bronze tokens that were issued by banks, tradesmen, and in some cases by speculators. Their types often show pronounced local influences, in which respect they are as important as from an economic point of view. 123 THE DOMINION OF CANADA AND 1. 50 Cents, 1870. NEWFOUNDLAND. CANADA.
