Www.Prairie Republic.net Most things you find on these sites are bullshit. Find an MB and it's dated 1820. unless issued later by HSBC who then rolled it up and history forgot. I remember!
Your source seems incorrect. The historical records clearly show otherwise:
- Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) introduced the Made Beaver system in 1670[1]
North West Company (NWC) wasn't founded until 1779[2]
NWC only issued their own beaver tokens in 1820[3][4], shortly before:
Their merger with HBC in 1821[5]
The end of their independent operations
