Description: | A copper alloy Post Medieval Liverpool half penny token dating from the 1790s. The token is very worn but the arms and motto: DEUS NOBIS HAEC OTIA FECIT 17 9[1] can be seen on one side (meaning 'God has provided us this rest' or ' this tranquility' or 'this leisure for us', depending on your translation), and a ship sailing right over laurels LIVERPOOL HALFPENNY on the other. There should also be a legend on the edge reading PAYABLE AT THE WAREHOUSE OF THOMAS CLARKE but this is not visible due to wear. Compare http://www.mcsearch.info/record.html?id=140637 and Dalton and Hamers number 68.
