Wow, that is confusing indeed!:8D
...you can run,  but you can't hide...
I see a single H mint mark (at the bottom right of the design) so here is the relevant flowchart and explanation of different ampersands from the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Tokens. The dot/toothed border refers to the reverse as the obverse is always beaded (at least for single mint mark tokens)


Looking at your pictures, I get to PE10-31, at the lower right of the flowchart.

Wow thank you,

it is indeed quite a complex list of possible varieties :8D

That is only one of 4 flowcharts. There is a separate one for tokens with 2 H mint marks, 1 for tokens with guy ropes from the bowsprit to the spritsail yardarm and another for all the other varieties. I count a total of 55 varieties listed in the edition of the catalogue I have.
Yes ─ PE10-31. It's a nice one.

It's so complex that a 435-page book just came out on those tokens, and it's a Spink book by a serious Canadian numismatist, Chris Faulkner. There is also a 99-page book published in 2006, but unfortunately the photos are a little too dark, though one can manage to identify all varieties.

I have yet to fully identify mine and because I have not done so earlier I'm likely to have a few doubles...

BTW I posted some useful material in this French post.
