Another themed area of UK 18th C. (Conder) Tokens to collect are those depicting a famous character from history. Naturally, this often can overlap other themes. This half penny comes from Middlesex and features the famous scientist and alchemist Sir Isaac Newton. The reverse shows a winged caduceus (symbolizing a herald or physician), a cornucopia, olive branches and the date - 1793.
