1793 TOM PAINE HALFPENNY TOKEN

Scarce Georgian-era halfpenny token commemorating Thomas Paine, the influential political theorist and author of "The Rights of Man." Struck in 1793 during a period of radical political debate in Britain, this copper token reflects the ideological divisions of the age. A compelling piece for collectors of political memorabilia, 18th-century tokens, and numismatic history. Condition varies; please examine images carefully.
