| Reverse description | The reverse displays the quartered royal arms of Great Britain within an ornate shield, encircled by the Garter motto HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE, surmounted by a royal crown and supported on either side by a lion and a unicorn in the heraldic tradition. The motto ICH DIEN appears below the shield in the lower field. The legend .LONDON AND MIDDLESEX. arcs along the upper periphery, while HALFPENNY. runs along the lower periphery. The overall composition is bold and well-executed, consistent with the higher-quality Conder token issues of the period. |
