| Aanvullende informatie |
This is one of the so-called "evasion" halfpennies produced in large quantities by private minters during the 1750s–1780s to exploit a legal loophole — by avoiding exact replication of the royal coinage, issuers could sidestep counterfeiting statutes while flooding a market desperate for small change. The Royal Mint had simply failed to produce sufficient copper coinage to meet everyday commerce, and pieces like this filled the gap entirely through private enterprise.
The North Wales attribution is typological rather than geographic — no evidence places actual production there.
