BRITISH 18th CENTURY TOKENS, Joseph Baster, Copper Halfpenny, 1796, obv shield of arms, THE ARMS OF THE TOWN OF DEVIZES * around, rev stag facing to left, I. BASTER . DEVIZES WILTS, around, 1796 in ecergue, edge PAYABLE IN ANGLESEY LONDON OR LIVERPOOL (D&H Wiltshire 2, edge unlisted without any milling; noted here as D&H Wiltshire 2d). No evidence of edge milling, minor spots, otherwise better than extremely fine, probably extremely rare, no other example noted.
ex F S Cokayne Collection, acquired 29 April 1933 for 4/-

D&H noted that in some examples the inscription dominates while in others the milling. Since they do make a distinction between those flans with some semblance of milling and an inscription, and those with milling and no evidence of an inscription, we have decided to note a variety with an inscription and no evidence of milling.

Estimate: £70-90
