Obv: Man handcuffed, Padlock on mouth. A FREEBORN BRITON OF 1796. Rev: A knife, fork, and plate chained down to table, USELES. Edge: Plain.
Uncirculated and tad red. Reverse has stain in center. Not the prettiest of these that I’ve seen but it retains some original color. Rare with this edge.
The obverse showing a man in fetters and a padlocked mouth refer to the recently passed Gagging Act against sedition that was passed in 1795.
