| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stern view of the man-of-war ship Royal George rendered in fine detail, with the vessel's name appearing in the central field. A continuous legend encircles the design within a toothed border, and additional text appears in the exergue. A variety note specifies that the centre lamp touches the letter E, and the waterline extends nearly to the letters I and D. The overall composition celebrates the Royal Navy and English maritime strength. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Deptford's Royal Dockyard was one of the busiest naval installations in Britain during the 1790s, and the chronic shortage of regal copper coinage — the Royal Mint had struck virtually no copper since 1775 — left tradespeople like Haycraft dependent on the provincial token trade to make change at all. The Monneron brothers' imported French tokens and Matthew Boulton's Soho Mint pieces were circulating alongside issues like this one, creating an entirely unofficial but functional monetary ecosystem.
DH#14 is one of several Haycraft varieties documented by Dalton and Hamer, distinguished by die details that collectors have used to sequence the emission order.
