1795 NEWGATE PRISON HALFPENNY TOKEN
Newgate Prison (Middlesex) copper Conder halfpenny token dated 1795.
Obverse: Front view of prison with central flat tower and date “1795” below between sprigs: “NEWGATE”.
Reverse: Text on eight lines, “PAYABLE AT THE RESIDENCE OF MESSRS SYMONDS WINTERBOTHAM RIDGWAY & HOLT”.
The political satire of the token arose from the fact that all the “issuers” were all currently prisoners resident in Newgate Prison, having been found guilty of seditious libel. Notably, Ridgeway was publisher of Paine’s “Rights of Man”.
