Between 1850 and 1857 the Bank of Upper Canada issued a series of handsome penny and halfpenny copper tokens.

Bread Token E.F. Leavens Baker (25mm) found at abandoned golf course - Vintage 1900-1920's
Bread Token E.F. Leavens Baker (25mm) found at abandoned golf course - Vintage 1900-1920's
E.F. Leavens operated a Bakery on 7 Grand Avenue London, Ontario from 1900-1920's and this Token appears to be from that time. It's a made of Aluminum.
E.F. Leavens Bakery was a local establishment in London, Ontario, operating from the early 1900s until the late 1920s. The bakery was situated on the south side of Grand Avenue, just west of High Street. A photograph shared by the Vintage London Facebook page depicts a bread delivery wagon from this bakery, dating back approximately a century, which aligns with the estimated time frame of the token's use.
The bread token you possess, inscribed with "Good for one loaf of bread" on the front and "E.F. Leavens Baker 7 Grand Avenue" on the back, is a tangible piece of this local history. Such tokens were commonly used by bakeries during that era as a form of credit or promotional tool to encourage customer loyalty.
