		No coins were made from 1914 to 1916, and when coinage resumed in 1917 many of the coins were then minted at the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa with with a small C mint mark on them.
		British coins were the most common circulating in 19th century Nova Scotia, so when the government decided to issues their own coins they chose to do so to the same standards as the British copper coins of the day, but with denominations similar to those in other parts of North America at the time.

		The 50-cent piece used was probably slightly toned because it appears to have been gently cleaned at the Mint.
		For numismatic historians, the hoard may prove that the 1921 silver coins were still in RCM inventory as late as 1926, and although they were not in circulation, some made their way out of the Mint under certain circumstances.
		The fact that the coins were clearly uncirculated would support the theory that whoever picked the coins for the cornerstone went out to get one of each of the current dates, and the RCM is the most likely source for those coins.

		Tom had obtained and studied a pattern cent produced by the mint and discovered the cent was not from production dies, as the obverse rim was quite wide.
		Now it is generally believed that the 1943 bronze cents were not the result of a stray planchet stuck in the feed mechanism of a coin press; there was a three month hiatus in the striking of cents (after 1942 bronze cents and before 1943 steel cents).
