背面描述 A stork standing upright atop a cornucopia, the horn's terminal end rendered with a notably pointed form; two foliate leaves spring from the cornucopia and curve to embrace the first limb of the letter H in the legend. A continuous Latin legend encircles the central device. The stork and cornucopia together symbolise provision and plenty, consistent with the commercial messaging of Conder token issuers of the period.

附加信息

The Birmingham Coining and Copper Company occupied a peculiar position in the 1790s provincial token trade: it was simultaneously a manufacturer of tokens for other issuers and an issuer in its own right. This self-referential piece — a token-maker advertising its own services on its own token — circulated during the acute small-change shortage that followed the Royal Mint's near-total neglect of copper coinage after 1775. Parliament had authorized no new regal copper for nearly two decades, leaving merchants and manufacturers to flood the country with private issues.

Dalton & Hamer 75 is among the more readily encountered of the firm's own issues, suggesting it saw genuine commercial distribution rather than serving purely as a trade specimen.
