Canadian Token Question

I recently sold a Canadian token on eBay, and I received the following question from a customer:

I have one almost identical to this but with twenty leaves and a slightly different bouquet- I have been unable to identify it- could you offer any advice?

Any ideas on a variety and value on his token (sorry no pictures)?

Below are pictures of the token I sold on eBay.

Thanks!

    Tim:

    A VERY nice coin/token!

    I would recommend he reference the "Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Tokens", which seems to have descriptions & pics of most every conceivable variation of that token identified, priced, etc!

    Hi Tim,

    sinin1 is correct. see his post below.

    As DBS said the Charlton Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Tokens is the current bible for these. A new edition is expected to release this spring.

    edit to remove my incorrect attribution.

    I think yours is a Breton 690 (worth more than the 687) and the persons 20 leaves is a Breton 704 or 705
