Here are pics of a "Birmingham Halfpenny" of 1791. Manufactured by Kempson, for his Birmingham Mining and Manufacturing Company, the dies were sunk by Peter Wyon, some of whose descendants later held engraving posts at The Royal Mint.
Thank you for the kind comments. Not a period of time that I would have enjoyed living in! Forgot to mention, the edge inscription says BIRMINGHAM REDRUTH SWANSEA •
