| 背面描述 | Left-facing draped bust portrait of Dr. Samuel Johnson rendered in profile, with fine detail to the hair and collar consistent with late 18th-century engraving conventions. A quatrefoil ornament appears below the truncation, flanked on either side by two raised dots, with the subject's name and title arranged as a legend around the periphery of the coin. |

Issued by Matthew Boulton's commercial rival network during the great token boom of the 1790s, when chronic government negligence in supplying small-denomination coinage forced British manufacturers and merchants to commission their own copper. The Johnson series from Birmingham was part of a flood of Warwickshire provincial tokens produced to pay workers and facilitate local trade — without them, weekly wages in industrial districts simply could not be broken into usable change.
Dalton & Hamer number 51 places this piece within a well-documented but sprawling series. Struck to a respectable weight standard, unlike many contemporary tokens that shaved specs for profit.
