Worcester's 1814 penny token was issued during the final years of Britain's private token coinage, a period that ended abruptly when Parliament's Coin Act of 1817 suppressed all such issues and theoretically restored the Crown's monopoly on circulating currency. By 1814, commercial tokens had been filling the gap left by a chronic shortage of regal copper for nearly three decades — the Royal Mint had simply failed to keep pace with industrial-era demand for small change.
Withers 1263 / Davis 24 places this piece among the better-documented provincial issues of the period.
