| Halfpenny Token |

|
These distinctive 'Druid' tokens, struck in both Penny and Halfpenny denominations from 1787, were the tokens that kick started the 'Conder' token manufacturing craze amongst British employers looking for a solution to the coinage crisis afflicting the country at that time. The Parys Mining company, which was responsible for these tokens, had a glut of copper on its hands but a dearth of coin with which to pay its wage bills and other expenses. Minting these tokens provided a solution to both problems and the concept soon caught on and spread to all corners of the Kingdom.
Although these tokens are quite common, the fact that they are the first of their kind makes them an essential acquisition of for anyone who collects tokens of this period.
