Description

BARBADOS: AE penny token, 1792, KM-Tn10, AU. Phillip Gibbs commissioned copper half cents and cents to be produced by Milton in England in 1792. On the obverse, both denominations depict a crowned Neptune riding a chariot over the sea with the identifying legend "Barbadoes halfpenny" or "Barbadoes penny" above and the date 1792 below. Some identify the figure as George III dressed as Neptune. The reverse is the same as on the 1788 copper penny. These coins regularly circulated, but were private token issues without legal tender status.

Estimate: USD 100 - 150
