A rare 18th-century halfpenny token issued by George Jobson of Northampton in 1794. This copper piece represents an important example of provincial trade tokens, commonly used as small change during a period when official coinage was scarce.
The token reflects the commercial activity of Georgian Northampton and serves as a fascinating historical artefact for collectors of British numismatics and local history. Its survival makes it a valuable addition to any collection of English tokens or regional memorabilia.
