| Aversbeschreibung | The plain central field bears the word PROVISION in curved lettering, serving as the principal device in lieu of a figural motif. The merchant's trade legend ARCHD. ANDERSON'S PROVISION * WARE-HOUSE * runs continuously around the border in raised Latin capitals. The entire design is framed by a toothed or milled border of fine beading. The typographic composition is characteristic of late 18th-century British provincial trade tokens, emphasising commercial identity over decorative imagery. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Anderson's Provision Ware-House was one of several Glasgow retail establishments that issued trade tokens during the late 18th-century copper farthing shortage, when Royal Mint output was so inadequate that private merchants across Britain filled the gap themselves. The Parys Mine Company's Anglesey pennies had demonstrated the commercial viability of the model, and Scottish traders followed suit with their own issues tied directly to redemption at the issuing shop.
The Withers reference places this among a well-documented but genuinely scarce class of Scottish provincial issues — fewer Glasgow farthing tokens survive in collectible condition than their penny counterparts, partly because the smaller denomination saw harder daily use.
