| Aversbeschreibung | Neptune (King of the Sea), standing to the right upon a sea chariot drawn by two sea-horses, holds a laurel wreath aloft in his right hand and grasps a trident symbolically in his left. He is depicted in the act of crowning Admiral Sir John Jervis, who is shown seated upon a rock, bare-headed and in full naval uniform, his left arm folded across his chest and a scroll held in his right hand. The composition is set against a maritime background of open sea, rendered in a neoclassical allegorical style characteristic of late eighteenth-century Conder token engraving. |

Thomas Sharp was a Portsmouth ironmonger who issued this token during the acute small-change shortage of the 1790s, when the Royal Mint had effectively abandoned copper coinage for decades. Provincial traders across Britain filled the vacuum themselves, commissioning tokens from commercial diesinkers — a practice tolerated rather than sanctioned. Sharp's issue is catalogued under Dalton & Hamer 65 and Atkins 42, placing it firmly within the documented Hampshire series rather than among the anonymous or speculative pieces that complicate attribution elsewhere in the trade token literature.
