Comment
Engraver -- Arnold. Manufacturer -- Lutwyche. Proprietor -- C. Honiatt,Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token ½ Penny (Hereford - C. Honiatt / Success To The Cider Trade) 1794 from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of small denomination coins in circulation, leading to the use of private tokens like this one as a substitute for official currency.
