1/2 Penny Norfolk - Norwich / Dunham and Yallop

Dunham & Yallop operated as goldsmiths on London Street in Norwich during the period when the Royal Mint's near-total failure to produce small change had forced provincial tradesmen to flood circulation with their own copper tokens. The Copper Coinage Act of 1797 had done little to resolve the chronic shortage at the local level, and by 1811 the second wave of token issuance was well underway across Norfolk. Tokens from Norwich goldsmiths are less common than those from the manufacturing towns of the Midlands, reflecting the city's commercial rather than industrial character.

Davis records only limited die varieties for this issuer.
