| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicting a woolpack (fleece) suspended from the trunk of a large, densely foliated apple tree, the branches rendered in fine relief filling the upper field. The legend DAVISON AND HAWKSLEY arcs around the periphery in raised capital letters, reading left and right from the base. The composition is emblematic of the Nottinghamshire textile and hosiery trade, executed in the crisp mechanical style characteristic of late 18th-century English provincial token coinage. |

Davison and Hawksley operated the Arnold Works outside Nottingham, and this sixpence token was issued during the acute small-change shortage of the early 1790s — a period when the Royal Mint's near-total neglect of copper coinage forced manufacturers and merchants across Britain to strike their own. The Parys Mine Company's Anglesey pennies had demonstrated that private tokens could circulate widely and profitably, and dozens of Midlands issuers followed suit within a few years.
DH#4 is among the earlier documented issues from this partnership, predating the heavier commercial token flood of 1794–95.
