Comment
These were issued between 1793 and 1796 by manufacturers, merchants and retailers as a way of creating small change and could be redeemed at face value.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token ½ Penny (Inverness / MacKintosh, Inglis and Wilson's) 1795 from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time of severe coinage shortages in Scotland, particularly in the northern regions. The coin was minted by a private company, MacKintosh, Inglis and Wilson's, and was intended to serve as a substitute for the official British copper coins that were in short supply. Despite being issued by a private entity, the Token ½ Penny was accepted as legal tender in many parts of Scotland, highlighting the resourcefulness and adaptability of the Scottish people during a period of economic challenge.
