Obv: Ship sailing right, LIVERPOOL HALFPENNY above, branches below. Rev: Bust facing left, EARL HOWE & THE GLORIOUS FIRST OF JUNE. (around). Edge: AN ASYLUM FOR THE OPPRESS’D OF ALL NATIONS.
Very Fine with soft strike. Very Rare (RR).
A mule of Thomas Clarke’s halfpenny trade token with the popular edge that refers to the newly formed United States of America. NOT a mental hospital! Although, that description is perhaps more fitting today…..
