Featured is a Conder Token celebrating the Acquittal of John Horne Tooke, a political radical and republican who was put on trial for High Treason in 1794 and acquitted, along with two others (Thomas Hardy and John Thelwall). The trials were a fiasco for the Government, and after the acquittal of these three men, the cases against other radicals awaiting trial for the same or similar offences were dismissed. This token was struck to commemorate this event, presumably by a fellow radical who sympathised with the ideas espoused by these defendants, or at least was profoundly disgusted with the government for trying repress their views.
