Description
A half-penny coin featuring an eagle on one side and liberty on the other.The eagle half penny tokens were struck over original 'Samuel Guppy' tokens from Bristol England. A Boston Merchant Named Nye settled in Phillipsburg U.S.A in 1812 and re-struck the 'Guppy' Tokens as the eagle half penny token during the War of 1812-15. This 1813 token is a good example of currency from the 1812 war period.
