| Reverse description | A seated female figure, personifying Commerce or Britannia, is depicted facing left in the central field, her right arm extended outward and her left hand holding a bunch of grapes. To her left, a sailing ship is visible in the background, alluding to maritime trade. She is seated on a bale or chest, suggestive of mercantile activity. The date 1792 appears in the lower exergue, and the legend HALFPENNY arcs across the upper field in raised Latin capitals within a plain rim. |
