Sobre Liverpool / Bishop Blaize Halfpenny 1791 (texto en inglés)
The Liverpool Bishop Blaize coin, minted in 1791, is a notable example of late 18th century British token coinage, reflecting the economic and social landscape of the time. This copper piece was issued during a period when official coinage was scarce, leading local authorities and private individuals to create tokens for everyday transactions. The coin features an image of Saint Blaize, the patron saint of woolen cloth, which underscores Liverpool's significance as a maritime and commercial hub in the textile trade. The lack of a defined mint origin adds an element of intrigue, as it exemplifies the decentralised nature of token production during this era, making it a fascinating study for numismatists interested in local economic practices and the evolution of currency in the United Kingdom.
