Hudson's Bay Trading Tokens "HBC" : RARE SET (Round 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 & 1 Square)

They were used to facilitate trade inside the posts while teaching the local Inuit a decimal monetary system. The tokens were never meant to leave the posts. The five tokens denominated in 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 cents are sometimes collected as a set unto themselves. The large square token denominated as "1" was for 1 White Fox Pelt <<< description from www.calgarycoin.com)
