Leeds Half-Penny Token

Featured is a Halfpenny token struck for Leeds and the surrounding area on behalf of Richard Paley, a local merchant. The presence of sheep on both sides of the token may be a reference to the importance of the wool trade in Leeds at this time, which also suggests that Richard Paley may well have been involved in the wool trade in some way.
