{"product_id":"1795-london-lackington-allen-halfpenny-token","title":"1795 LONDON LACKINGTON ALLEN HALFPENNY TOKEN","description":"A rare 18th-century trade token from London's celebrated bookseller James Lackington. This halfpenny piece was issued around 1795 during the height of Lackington's commercial success, when his Oriental Library made him one of England's most prominent book merchants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe token reflects the era when private traders issued their own small denominations due to a shortage of official copper coinage. Featuring period-appropriate design elements, this piece is a fascinating artefact of Georgian commerce and early British entrepreneurship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn excellent addition to any collection of British numismatic history, tokens, or London memorabilia. Well-preserved examples like this grow increasingly scarce.","brand":"Cambridgeshire Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57607748518261,"sku":null,"price":154.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0165\/3024\/3648\/files\/Scan1_ad68c575-8ad0-46af-b285-52f62e30c011.png?v=1790334170","url":"https:\/\/www.cambridgeshirecoins.com\/en-au\/products\/1795-london-lackington-allen-halfpenny-token","provider":"Cambridgeshire Coins ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
