| Obverse description | Crude imitation effigy of King George III facing left, depicted with a laureate head and truncated draped bust. The die workmanship is of notably low quality, consistent with contemporary counterfeit or imitation regal coinage produced for colonial circulation. No legible legend is present in the field or along the periphery. The portrait, though crudely rendered, retains the general characteristics of standard British halfpenny imagery of the period. |

| Reverse description | A crude and roughly executed rendition of Britannia seated to the right, holding a long spear in her right hand and a spray of leaves or olive branch in her left. The figure is set without a formal exergue line, and the overall die engraving is coarse and irregular, characteristic of imitation or counterfeit halfpenny tokens struck for use in the Canadian provinces. No reverse legend is present. A shield element is suggested at the lower left of the figure. |
