| Obverse description | The municipal coat of arms of Shrewsbury occupies the central field, displaying a shield charged with three leopards' faces in heraldic arrangement. A beaded inner border frames the design. The circular legend reads SHREWSBURY HALFPENNY, with the date 1793 positioned above the shield. The engraving is executed in a precise provincial style characteristic of late 18th-century English token production. |
