| Reversbeschreibung | A full-length standing figure of Justice occupies the central field, draped in classical robes and facing slightly left. She holds a balance scale in her outstretched left hand, its pans clearly rendered in relief, symbolising impartiality and fair dealing. The circular legend FOR CHANGE NOT FRAUD runs around the upper periphery, while the date 1794 appears in the lower exergue area. The design conveys the token's mercantile integrity and was issued to address the acute shortage of small change in the Wicklow mining district. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Associated Irish Mine Company operated the Cronebane copper mines in County Wicklow, and like many industrial enterprises of the 1790s, resorted to issuing token coinage to pay its workers when small-change shortages made official copper effectively unavailable. The British Royal Mint had largely abandoned regular halfpenny production through much of this decade, creating a vacuum filled by hundreds of private token issuers — a phenomenon sometimes called the "token mania" of the 1780s–90s.
Cronebane tokens circulated primarily among mine workers rather than in general trade. DH#63 is the Dalton-Hamer reference for this specific die pairing.
