| Obverse description | A draped allegorical figure of Justice stands facing, depicted in classical style at centre of the field, holding the traditional emblems of her office. The circumferential legend reads THE SPRING OF FREEDOM ENGLANDS BLESSING, with the county name KENT appearing in the lower field beneath the figure, separated by a ground line. The design reflects the patriotic and civic symbolism typical of late 18th-century English provincial copper tokens. |
