| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a recumbent lion facing left, resting upon a grassy ground, surrounded by an open wreath of wheat ears and foliage rendered in fine relief, symbolising agricultural plenty. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border, with the circumferential legend PEACE INNOCENCE AND PLENTY · running around the upper and lower periphery. The overall design reflects the neoclassical allegorical style characteristic of late eighteenth-century English provincial token coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
William Peckham operated as a tradesman in Appledore, the small Kent port village on the edge of Romney Marsh, during the acute copper coin shortage of the 1790s — a shortage severe enough that wages were routinely paid in tokens, truck, or nothing spendable at all. The Peckham halfpenny was struck as a direct response, privately commissioned to fill the gap left by a Royal Mint that had not produced regal copper in any meaningful quantity since 1775.
DH#3 in Dalton & Hamer's Kent listings distinguishes this piece from the closely related Atkins#2 attribution, though the two reference systems overlap on this type.
