1794 BANBURY HALFPENNY TOKEN

A scarce copper halfpenny token from 1794, originating from Banbury in Warwickshire. This period piece represents an important part of British numismatic history, issued during an era when private tokens supplemented official currency. The token reflects the commercial activity and local identity of the Midlands during the late 18th century.

Ideal for collectors of 18th-century coinage and regional British tokens. The condition and rarity of this piece make it a valuable addition to any numismatic collection. A genuine example of the token coinage that circulated when the Royal Mint could not meet demand for small change.
