The Canadian province of New Brunswick minted its own coins beginning in 1843, beginning with a half-penny copper token. More coins followed in 1854, including a rare bronze proof.
In 1861, New Brunswick adopted a decimal currency system (as did neighboring Nova Scotia); bronze and silver coins were issued under this system. In 1867, the short-lived New Brunswick coins came to an end as they provided part of the basis for the Canadian dollar.
Most of the New Brunswick coins for sale in the marketplace these days are from this two-decades-plus part of the mid-19th century; however, there are occasionally other coins seen. Such latter-day New Brunswick coins may include special tokens and commemorative coins of various types.
