Obv: The Freemasons' Arms, 24 NOV. 1790 PRINCE OF WALES ELECTED G M around. Rev: Cupid and Masonic emblems within a triangle, WISDOM STRENGTH & BEAUTY around triangle, SIT LUX ET LUX FUIT around. Edge: MASONIC HALFPENNY TOKEN MDCCXCIV . X . X . X .

Uncirculated. Fading red and Choice with some nice iridescence remaining. 

The first of this group of masonic tokens in D&H has the edge HALFPENNY PAYABLE AT THE BLACK HORSE TOWER HILL, which makes it look like a trade token. However, it was more likely that the order of Masons used this public house as a regular meeting hall and the token was meant for circulation or for collectors.
