A rare Georgian-era halfpenny token from Rochdale, dating to 1792. This historic piece represents local commerce during the Industrial Revolution, when such tokens were commonly used as small change by merchants and traders.
The token carries genuine age and patina, reflecting its centuries of circulation. A significant addition to any numismatic collection, particularly for those with interest in Lancashire history or 18th-century British tokens.
Condition and rarity make this an authentic piece of social and economic history from a pivotal period in British industrial development.
