| Obverse description | Draped bust of a monarch facing left, occupying the majority of the coin's field, struck in a style imitating contemporary regal halfpenny coinage. The effigy is rendered in low relief with a laureate or wigged head. The peripheral legend reads GEORGE. RULES. with the engraver's initials I.G. positioned in the lower field. The overall design is characteristic of mid-18th-century evasion token production, deliberately mimicking official coinage while altering the legend to avoid counterfeiting statutes. |
