| Reverse description | The denomination is rendered in two lines across the central field, divided by three horizontal parallel lines that serve as a decorative register element, all enclosed within a double inner circle. The surrounding legend, separated from the inner design by the double circle, reads PAYABLE AT BRISTOL AND LONDON with HALF PENNY TOKEN 1811 completing the inscription. The layout is characteristic of the standardized trade token reverses produced during the British currency shortage period of the early nineteenth century. |
