| Obverse description | Draped bust of William Shakespeare facing right, occupying the central field, rendered in the style of a regal portrait effigy typical of late 18th-century evasion tokens. The legend GUILELMUS SHAKEPEAR curves around the periphery in raised Latin lettering, deliberately evoking a royal coinage format to facilitate circulation as a halfpenny substitute. |
