背面描述 Seated figure of Britannia facing left, depicted in the conventional regal halfpenny manner, holding a trident in her left hand and an olive branch in her right. Britannia is shown resting against a shield, seated upon a rocky outcrop above horizontal sea lines in the exergue. The design closely imitates the standard British regal halfpenny reverse type of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, though struck with less precision befitting its status as a privately produced imitation token.

附加信息

Regal imitations occupied a legal grey zone in early nineteenth-century British North America. Parliament had repeatedly attempted to restrict the flood of private and imitation coinage into the colonies, but chronic shortages of authorized copper made enforcement effectively impossible. Merchants and importers simply continued shipping whatever token coinage would pass at face value.

The brass composition here, rather than copper, is the telling detail — a cost-cutting choice by whoever commissioned this piece, and the primary characteristic distinguishing BL-6 from related imitation types in the CCT series.
