Description: | A copper alloy mid 17th century halfpenny token, issued by Richard Stockdale of Hull in 1665. His profession is not clear from the token but Thompson and Dickinson suggest he was a mariner. A lot of these tokens were issued by private merchants across the country in the mid 17th century, particularly in the late 1660s, presumably reflecting a shortage of official small change. Charles II began minting an official copper coinage in 1672 to address this.
