Beschrijving voorzijde Hope (with anchor) presents two children to Liberty, who holds a pole bearing a liberty cap. Very similar to the Myddelton token but without seated Britannia on reverse. The Myddelton token was struck for a proposed Kentucky settlement. Cornucopia behind Liberty, representing the fertility of Kentucky.
