III USE OF COAT OF ARMS

 

There was submitted Agenda Note AN30-2015 reporting that Professor Christopher Faulkner, Institute of Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada had asked the Council's permission to include the image of the Coat of Arms in a forthcoming book on the copper tokens of Upper Canada (copper tokens were circulating specie used between 1815 and 1841). It had been assumed by Canadian numismatists that one of the tokens in wide circulation carried the arms of Dundee because it was issued by a former son of the City who emigrated to Upper Canada.

 

The Coat of Arms would not be used on the cover or in any way which might be promotional or infer that the work was supported by the Council.

 

The Council approved accordingly.
