1791 WILKINSON HALFPENNY TOKEN

A scarce 18th-century trade token from the reign of King George III. This copper halfpenny features the profile of John Wilkinson, the renowned ironmaster and industrialist, reflecting his significant contribution to Britain's Industrial Revolution.

The reverse displays traditional heraldic designs typical of the period. As a private token issued during an era of coin shortage, it served as everyday currency in local commerce and remains a fascinating piece of numismatic history.

Ideal for collectors of British tokens, industrial heritage, and Georgian-era memorabilia. A genuine artefact offering insight into 18th-century commerce and the influential figures of the age.
