1795 Conder Half Penny – Boots & Shoes. This privately issued British token was struck during the late 18th-century shortage of official small change, when merchants commissioned copper tokens to facilitate everyday commerce. Featuring a boots and shoes merchant design, this piece represents the vibrant trade token era that flourished throughout Great Britain from 1787 to 1797. Conder Tokens are highly collectible for their historical significance, artistic designs, and wide variety of merchant advertisements, making this an appealing addition to any British token or exonumia collection.
