| Obverse description | The entire field is occupied by a multi-line legend in crude raised letters reading the halfpenny payable notice at W.M. Hallen's Intelligence Office for Masters and Servants, dated 1792 at the bottom. The text fills the flan with no central device, giving the piece a distinctly utilitarian appearance. |
