This coin was discovered 15 years ago in London, and found its way into the collection of Mr. Robert IV. Mc Lachlan. It was considered unique until a second specimen was discovered last year by the Rev. Father Michaud of Montreal. These are the only two specimens known up to the present time. The fact that McAuslane's store was destroyed by fire explains its rarity. Peter McAuslane still does business, but has removed to a town in the Province of Ontario. R. 5.
