| 裏面の説明 | A seated female figure, draped in classical dress, is depicted in three-quarter view operating a spinning wheel, symbolising industrious labour. A distaff stands to her right in the field. The circular legend SURE ARE THE REWARD'S OF INDUSTRY runs around the upper periphery, while the issuing town name MONTROSE appears in the exergue below, separated by a line. |

Montrose's 1797 halfpenny was issued during the great wave of provincial copper coinage that flooded Britain when the Royal Mint's chronic failure to produce adequate small change left merchants and towns to fend for themselves. The Boulton & Watt steam press at Soho had not yet displaced the cottage industry of private token issuers, and Scottish burghs like Montrose were among the many municipal bodies that stepped into the void.
DH#29 is catalogued by Dalton & Hamer as one of the scarcer Angus pieces from this period, with surviving populations thinner than comparable tokens from Glasgow or Edinburgh.
