elverno 0 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 1797 ½ Penny Token, Great Britain. 29mm - Details D&H 20 - Angusshire, Dundee A nice, if somewhat busy Conder marred by the obverse stain. There's a bit of weakness in the strike about 9 o'clock on the reverse. I like the sort of cartoonish man busy making flax. Without the legend to tell you that's what he's up to I would have said he's doing something very strange to a dead chicken... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
constanius 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Agree about the chicken and the cartoonish man, busy but at least a lot of historical info, I like it. Great write up on your site. On the token it is spelt heckling not hackling, I guess either is correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
