North Wales Halfpennies

About This Coin

Washington halfpenny tokens using a "North Wales" reverse die, typically dated 1795 with one undated 1790s mule. The North Wales reverse was a standard die from the British provincial token series that was paired with Washington obverse dies by token manufacturers. Varieties include two-star, lettered edge, and plain edge types, plus a remarkable mule with a Sir Bevois (Hampshire) reverse. These tokens demonstrate how Washington's image was combined with existing British die stock.
