1/2 Penny Yorkshire - British Naval

The British Naval Copper Company operated smelting works at Swansea and issued these tokens during the acute small-change shortage that plagued Britain through the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars period. The Royal Mint had effectively abandoned copper coinage between 1775 and 1797, leaving commercial token issuers to fill the gap — a gap that persisted in some regions well past Boulton's Soho Mint contracts.

Yorkshire attribution here reflects distribution rather than manufacture. Davis 150 is a well-documented variety in the Withers corpus, distinguished by specific edge treatment.
