Of the two dozen or so proof and proof-like tokens in my collection, only two show any cameo effects, and this is the more striking of those. It's a halfpenny issued in 1812 by Picard's Hull Lead Works. The Latin legend -- "Esse Quam Videri" -- originated in a 44 BC essay on friendship by Cicero and also became the motto of the state of North Carolina in the USA. A loose translation would be the aspirational and inspirational, "Be rather than seem."

Hull, Yorkshire, Withers 781a, RRR, ex-Cokayne.

A wonderfully warm and pleasant example!
