daltonista, those are some beautiful standing women, especially the 1811 Justice standing coin. Thanks for displaying them to us!

It's uncirculated, actually!

Whether it's uncirculated or it was found in the parking lot of a 7/11 it's still an addition.

My apologies to both Dearborn and GLB49 for confusing your comments, which sorta detracted from the intended wordplay, I thought.
I'll attempt to make up for that now by posting yet another standing lady, this time an allegorical representation of Hope, as symbolized by the anchor. The token is an 1811 halfpenny pattern from Norfolk in Norwich, Britain, issued by the highly regarded goldsmiths Dunham and Yallop.
As an aside, I'm not aware of any other appearance on 19th-century British coins or tokens of the motto, "Relief in Distress." Have any of you Conder collectors seen that one before?Withers 915, two known.

Another nice standing woman coin that is lovely!
Does this coin have any reference to Norwich, Connecticut?
I see an Anchor (Connecticut being a coastal state), but the Crown and Castle, hummm - puzzles me.

Thanks again, everybody. Limiting my collecting to just this ten-year period of British history -- the Regency -- has made it possible for me to do some pretty interesting "acquisitioning," as the museum folks like to put it.
Meanwhile, there's apparently not much to be said about Britain in the available history of Norwich, CT. This is from the Encyclopedia Britannica's website: "The settlement, which was begun in 1659 and named for Norwich, England, by a company from Saybrook led by Captain John Mason and James Fitch, became a legal township in 1662." The City itself offers nothing about the origins of its name in the official history posted on their website.
