| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a detailed view of St. Mary's Church, Hendon, rendered in profile with its square tower surmounted by a weather vane and flanked by a lower nave, set upon a hatched ground line. The architectural composition is rendered with fine engraving typical of the late 18th-century Conder token tradition. The circumferential legend reads HENDON · VALUE ONE · HALFPENNY, disposed around the upper periphery within a beaded border. The date 1794 appears in the lower exergue beneath the church facade. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hendon in the 1790s was a small market village on the road north from London, and B. Price issued this halfpenny token during the great provincial token boom that followed the near-complete collapse of official regal copper coinage in circulation. The Royal Mint had struck almost no copper since 1775, leaving merchants across England to commission their own pieces simply to make change. Price's token, catalogued by Dalton and Hamer as DH#324, is one of the scarcer Middlesex village issues — most surviving Middlesex tokens come from London tradesmen with far larger customer bases.
