Description |
(27mm scalloped brass halfpenny token / 1788) Purchased from John Newman Coins / Worthing, West Sussex. UK. (Jn. 11, 2024) ($19). The token celebrates the jubilee of the 1688-1690 Glorious Revolution that culminated in the ascendancy of otestant rule to the English throne. Though not a counterstamped or engraved piece, the importance of it begs for inclusion in this listing. This example measures 27mm and is struck on a thin brass planchet with a scalloped edge. Smooth coffee-brown surfaces show only moderate wear. Overall a handsome specimen of this scarce issue. Listed in Dalton & Hamer's reference as D&H-948. |
