Obverse: 'Bladud Founded Bath'
Reverse: 'Through His Swine' and 1794 in the exergue.
Plain edge.
Well struck and traces of original lustre now turning a pleasant red colour.

Rich colouring, keep these beautiful pictures coming.


Issued by F Heath, an ironmonger. 1cwt struck. He also issued a halfpenny with a very similar obverse and a tea urn on the reverse, and a farthing with the same obverse and a front view of the Great Pump Room on the reverse.

I'm pleased you like it A.
I didn't know who the issuer was so thank you for that.
I have the Pump Room halfpenny too. I'll post that tomorrow.
Cheers.
