Tokens, British, Hampshire, Portsmouth, halfpenny, 1797, bust of Sir John Jervis dividing date, DEFEATED THE SPANIARDS 14 FEB., rev. man-of-war (DH.66), weak areas either side, struck on a flan with minor flaws, but otherwise extremely fine with a little original colour, very rare
*ex Baldwin's vault
Discussion of the rarity by Bill McIvor in 2009 with other dealers resulted in opinions that there could be fewer than ten examples of this extant. While it may not be this rare, DH.66 is much more difficult to find than DH's 'scarce' rating would indicate.
(80-150 GBP)
