| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is similarly devoid of pictorial imagery, relying entirely on inscribed text. The denomination HALF PENNY is displayed in two lines of bold raised capital letters at the centre of the field. The surrounding peripheral legend reads O.H. HEDBERG + SWEDISH HOUSE HOBART TON +, encircling the field and identifying the issuer's commercial establishment. The rim carries a uniform beaded border matching the obverse, typical of privately produced colonial trade tokens of mid-nineteenth-century Tasmania. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Oscar Herman Hedberg operated as a watchmaker and jeweller in Hobart Town during the 1850s and 1860s, a period when the chronic shortage of small British regal coinage in the Australian colonies forced merchants to commission their own copper tokens. These tradesman's pieces circulated locally as a practical substitute, redeemable at the issuer's counter. The Andrews and Renniks references document multiple die varieties across this type — subtle differences in spacing, punctuation, and reverse layout that suggest more than one production run from different dies.
