This specimen was lot 74425 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice Online Auction (Costa Mesa, CA, October 2024), where it sold for $125. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Australia|AUSTRALIA]]. Melbourne. W. J. Taylor Copper 1/2 Penny Token, 1851. Victoria. NGC AU-53. Diameter: 28mm. Obverse: Kangaroo right with inscription below; Reverse: Seated Britannia left. Mild signs of wear are visible at the high points of the umber brown devices." Filling a shortage of coinage in the expanding economy, private tokens flourished until finally being banned in the 1870's. The SCWC lists nearly three hundred varieties. Today most are very scarce. While half penny tokens were very common in Great Britain (especially the Conder tokens), most Australian tokens were of the penny denomination, perhaps a result of higher prices. This is not the only token credited to W. J. Taylor, see also [[Australia ND penny token KM-Tn282.1|KM-Tn282.1]].<br />
