| Reverse description | The reverse features a fully inscribed field with the name of the issuing institution arranged in three lines across the centre: BENEVOLENT / CHORAL FUND / INSTITUTED / 1791. A continuous circular border legend reads FOR ITS DECAY'D MEMBERS WIDOWS AND ORPHANS *, encircling the entire design. The layout is bold and typographic, with no pictorial devices, consistent with the utilitarian charitable token style of the period. The field shows a plain, slightly worn surface typical of circulated brass Conder tokens. |
