| Beschrijving voorzijde | A seated female allegorical figure, personifying Commerce or Britannia, is depicted in left profile, resting against a rocky outcrop in the central field. The figure is draped and holds a harp or similar instrument at her right side, with flowing hair and classical robes rendered in fine relief. The circular legend BIRMINGHAM MINING AND COPPER COMPANY reads along the periphery, and the date 1793 appears in the exergue beneath the figure. The engraving, attributed to W. Lutwyche, displays the refined neoclassical style characteristic of the best Conder token die-work of the period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A standing heron or crane is depicted in right profile at the center of the field, perched upon an ornate decorative base consisting of a cornucopia or floral spray with leaves and berries, rendered in fine relief. The peripheral legend HALFPENNY PAYABLE AT curves around the upper and left portion of the coin, with the remainder of the legend specifying the payable location appearing on the edge inscription, which varies by variety. A small ornamental quatrefoil stop appears at the base of the design below the central device, consistent with the refined engraving style of Lutwyche & Co. |
