| 表面の説明 | A two-necked swan displayed in profile, resting upon water, occupying the central field. The swan's two gracefully curved necks and heads form a symmetrical heraldic device, a traditional emblem associated with the Swan with Two Necks inn sign. The inscription 'PAYABLE AT THE MAIL COACH OFFICE' arcs around the upper periphery, while 'LAD-LANE LONDON' appears in two lines across the lower field, with the issuer's initials 'W.W' below. The coin is bordered by a raised beaded rim. |

Waterhouse operated as a warehouse and wholesale supplier in London during the late 1790s, a period when the near-total collapse of official small-denomination coinage forced tradesmen across England to commission their own copper tokens simply to make change. The Middlesex series is among the most densely populated of all county token issues — hundreds of merchants entered the market simultaneously, and Withers 840 sits in a crowded field.
Davis 64 cross-referencing confirms this as a recognized variety rather than an obscure die muling, which matters when distinguishing genuine merchant issues from the speculative tokens struck purely for collector sale, a rampant practice by 1798.
