1791 HULL HALFPENNY TOKEN

An original copper halfpenny token issued in Hull during 1791, a scarce piece of local numismatic history. This token represents the commercial tokens that circulated in provincial towns during the late 18th century, when official coinage was often in short supply. The piece bears the characteristic marks of age and genuine circulation wear, making it a desirable acquisition for collectors of British tokens and regional currency. A fascinating snapshot of Hull's commercial past and an excellent addition to any collection of English provincial tokens or general numismatic holdings.
