| Reverse description | The entire reverse field is occupied by a boldly incused horizontal text inscription arranged over seven lines, with no pictorial device. The legend reads in full: TO LESSEN THE SLAVERY OF SUNDAY BAKING AND PROVIDE FOR PUBLIC WANTS AN ACT WAS PASSED A.D. 1794. The lettering is rendered in large roman capitals, filling the flan edge to edge, and is enclosed within a toothed or beaded border. This purely typographic design is characteristic of the social-reform messaging common among late eighteenth-century English tradesmen's tokens. |
