| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a central sunken field, a five-arched bridge spanning the River Tees is depicted, with a small vessel navigating beneath the arches. The date 1813 appears in a large exergue below the bridge. The peripheral legend, executed in incuse lettering on a raised broad border, reads CHRISTOPHER & JENNETT * STOCKTON * TEES 1813, encircling the central design. The overall composition is characteristic of the provincial token coinage of the early nineteenth century, combining local commercial identity with regional topographical imagery. |

Christopher & Jennett were ironmongers operating in Stockton-on-Tees, and this 1813 issue belongs to the last significant wave of British provincial copper tokens — struck privately because the Royal Mint had catastrophically failed to supply adequate small change for commercial use throughout the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. By 1813, Parliament was already moving to suppress the token trade, and the Coinage Act of 1817 effectively ended it. Pieces from this final phase rarely circulated for long before being called in or hoarded.
