It is a local bank token.
You will not find it in Krause.
Is it this one:

Go to catalog look up Canda provinces then hit lower canada. It should be there. Watch the spelling on the coin to match up

Correct Alfred, I am mistaken with some other local tokens.
But Krause does not give a lot of details

 But are catalog as a BR#527 copper 9.5 g and 28 mm dai. It is in are catalog.  Currece token were used in canada at the beginning. Canada started to make coins in 1858 i think so they used bank tokrns. And coins from the UK, US, France and mexico.
