Warwickshire halfpenny. See another type of John Wilkinson Iron Master of 1791 in the Museum. This from 1793 has differences in design, particularly the edge inscription which here is only partially legible: "...ANGLESLY OR LIVERPOOL". John Wilkinson (note proper spelling) issued tokens in three major reverse types: Barge, Vulcan and Forge. This is the Vulcan type and here also is another misspelling of Wilkinson's name. Also, any edge variation from the standard WILLEY SNEDSHILL BERSHAM BRADLEY indicates an evasion counterfeit, as this is.

Here's and excellent article by on the official tokens of John Wilkinson and the varieties. It was published in the "Journal" pages of the Conder Token Collectors Club (CTCC # 69, Summer 2015), see it at this: /library/J%20Wilkinson%20Varieties.pdf
