| Reverse description | Seated figure of Britannia facing left, depicted in the conventional regal style with shield and trident, closely imitating the reverse type of the official British halfpenny. The surrounding legend BRITAN NIA RULES THE MAIN appears in the field, a deliberately misspelled and fragmented version of the patriotic phrase intended to circumvent laws against counterfeiting official coinage. The overall design is characteristic of the evasion token series produced by private manufacturers during the late 18th century. |
