BIRMINGHAM AND SWANSEA, pellet at bottom , legend around and HALF / PENNY in two lines within double-line circle / ROSE COPPER COMPANY, legend around and TOKEN / 1811 within double-line circle; floral decoration at bottom.
This is not a "Conder Token", per-se, the copper shortage and consequent panic of 1811 spawned a new wave of token coinage, mostly in copper but some in silver, mostly very simple, few are as elaborate in design as the 18th century Conders These are not in D&H since they are not 18th century tokens
