GREAT BRITAIN. Trade Tokens. Middlesex. Copper 1/2 Penny Token, 1794. NGC AU-55 Brown.
D&H-1016D. Obverse: A MAP OF FRANCE 1794 / FRA-NCE HONOR GLORY RELIGION inside border, foot at center; Reverse: MAY GREAT BRITAIN EVER REMAIN THE REVERSE over outward rays, surrounded by decorative border. An interesting and ironic anti-French political token with lovely original surfaces that are consistently brown aside for some mint red warmth still apparent around the devices. This is the first time we have offered an example in recent years, and it is sure to find its way into an advanced cabinet.
Estimate: $100 - $150
