| Reverse description | A ploughman standing to the right guides a team of two oxen proceeding to the left, drawing a plough across a baseline that divides the central field. The upper legend reads SPEED THE PLOUGH, while the lower legend reads HALFPENNY TOKEN, both arranged along the beaded border. The rustic agricultural scene reflects the agrarian economy of early nineteenth-century Upper Canada and is characteristic of the merchant token issues of the period. |
