| Aanvullende informatie |
Wainfleet is a small market town in the Lincolnshire fens, and its appearance on a provincial copper token reflects the near-total breakdown of regal small change supply in the 1790s. The Royal Mint had effectively abandoned halfpenny and farthing production through the 1780s, leaving merchants across England to commission their own tokens from private diesinkers — a practice that generated thousands of distinct types between roughly 1787 and 1797. Dalton & Hamer's reference catalogues this piece as DH#8 within the Lincolnshire series, distinguishing it from closely related Wainfleet issues that share obverse or reverse dies with tokens struck for neighboring towns.
