    1861 ONE CENT Nova Scotia CANADA - stamped "ZIRIKELBAC"

    unsure what to make of this coin stamp but it could be an early form of advertising?

      Hi, dopeyt. :-)

      This counterstamp is interesting because I could find only one Internet reference to "ZIRIKELBAC" other than your post here:

      https://www.tokencatalog.com/token_record_forms.php?action=DisplayTokenRecord&td_id=552683&inventory_id=632424&attribution_id=571861

      It's certainly an unusual name. Zirkelbach is common, but Zirikelbac?

      'Tis a puzzlement.

      That is very strange.. I even tried searching with a different browser to no avail. Intrigued by your coin, I sent a request to the Nova Scotia historical society. Maybe they can solve this mystery?

      Woo hoo! If there are answers to be had, dav2no1'll get them. :-)
    4. dopeyt, 2 years ago
      @dav2no1 any word back from the Nova Scotia historical society?

      unknown canadian counterstamping , probably technically it is a token, maybe something like a kelogg coin
    6. apostata apostata, 2 years ago
      technically it is a TC-552683, so it is no currency, technically it is Exonumia

      The name is J Zirikelbach. The whole name didn't fit on this coin.

      Very interesting..no, I never heard anything back. But a token makes sense..
