1792 MANCHESTER HALFPENNY TOKEN

A scarce Manchester halfpenny token from 1792, a fascinating piece of British numismatic history. These locally-issued tokens were common during the 18th century when metallic currency was in short supply. This particular example reflects Manchester's growing importance as a commercial and industrial centre during the Georgian era. An excellent addition to any collection of English tokens, provincial coinage, or industrial revolution memorabilia. Condition and rarity make these increasingly sought-after by collectors and historians alike.
