Anti-slavery halfpenny
Copper halfpenny produced by the Abolitionist movement and circulated circa 1790-97. This token bears the well-known abolitionist image of the kneeing slave with accompanying inscription. On the reverse of this medal a pair of clasped hands are encircled by the words 'May Slavery & Oppression Cease Throughout the World'. The words 'Payable in Lancaster London or Liverpool' are inscribed around the rim.
