Description
This group of six copper projectile points was collected by G. J. Chadd and donated to the Royal Ontario Museum in the early twentieth century.
The collection includes a unique example that was fashioned from part of a coin--likely a penny token from the Bank of Montreal. The coin dates to the mid-nineteenth century (possibly 1842).
