1794 HALFPENNY TOKEN JOHN HOWARD

A scarce 18th-century halfpenny token commemorating John Howard, the celebrated English social reformer and prison reformer. This 1794 piece reflects the esteem in which Howard was held during his lifetime for his pioneering work improving prison conditions and advocating for criminal justice reform across Europe.

A desirable addition to any collection of Georgian-era tokens or British numismatic history. The token captures an important moment in social reform history when private tokens circulated alongside official currency.
