| 裏面の説明 | The seated figure of Britannia occupies the central field, shown facing left in classical drapery, extending an olive branch in her right hand and holding a long trident in her left, with a large oval shield bearing the Union device resting against her left side. Britannia is seated on a rock above a ground line, beneath which the date 1788 appears in the exergue. The legend BRITANNIA arcs around the upper field, and a toothed border frames the entire design. The execution reflects the imitative nature of this colonial-era private issue, replicating the standard Britannia type of British regal coinage. |

Machin's Mills was a counterfeiting operation in Newburgh, New York, run by Captain Thomas Machin beginning around 1787 — producing imitation British halfpennies at weights and sizes that varied wildly batch to batch, which is precisely why the weight range on genuine examples spans nearly two full grams. The date 1747 is fictitious; it was stamped to mimic older British regal issues and avoid scrutiny, since colonial Americans were accustomed to circulating worn, decades-old copper. The operation was eventually shut down under pressure from state authorities, but not before flooding the northeastern states with millions of pieces.
