| 表面の説明 | Draped bust of King Alfred the Great facing left, depicted as an elderly bearded figure wearing a Saxon-style hood or cowl, rendered in high relief with fine engraving. The effigy is set within an ornamental wreath of oak branches bearing acorns and foliage, tied at the base with a ribbon, the whole enclosed by a finely milled border. The field is plain, allowing the portrait to dominate the design. The legend ALFRED THE GREAT appears on the edge rather than in the obverse field, consistent with the Conder token tradition. The artistic style reflects the late 18th-century interest in Anglo-Saxon historical subjects as symbols of English liberty and industry. |

The Salop Woollen Manufactory token was issued during the great copper token boom of the early 1790s, when a chronic shortage of regal small change — the Royal Mint having struck virtually no copper coinage since 1775 — forced provincial employers and tradesmen across Britain to produce their own. For a wool manufacturing town like Shrewsbury, paying workers in usable fractions of currency was a practical necessity, not a commercial novelty.
Dalton & Hamer 427 is among the more straightforward Shropshire pieces, without the contested die marriages that complicate attribution in some of the more prolifically reissued Midlands tokens.
