| Beschrijving voorzijde | An equestrian effigy of King William III faces right, depicted in the manner of a classical equestrian statue, the monarch holding a baton in an elevated position. The horse's ear is notably positioned so as to touch the letter I of the legend. The design closely follows the celebrated statue of William III and is rendered in fine relief within a plain field. The peripheral legend reads WILLIAM TERTIUS REX MDCLXXXIX, identifying the king and the year of his accession, 1689. |

Hull's late-eighteenth-century trade tokens emerged from a practical crisis: Royal Mint output of regal copper was so inadequate through the 1780s that northern commercial towns were functionally starved of small change. Jonathan Garton & Co., operating in the provision and grocery trade, issued this halfpenny to keep transactions moving at street level. The Dalton-Hamer reference DH#20 places it within a well-documented Hull sequence, though surviving die varieties suggest at least some production inconsistency across the run.
The token boom was effectively ended by the Coin Act of 1797, which authorized Matthew Boulton's Soho Mint to flood the market with the machine-struck "cartwheel" coinage.
