1794 British Evasion Farthing. Cobwright G.0190/B.0105, Atkins 482.Obverse legend GLORIOUS HOWE, the H distant from the A, reverse legend BRITANNIA. 36.8 grains. Fine to Very Fine. Standard bust and seated figure designs, with an unusual legend and late date, though probably struck a year or two after that. The legends are full, the date with the 9 gone, the 4 weak but visible (this obverse comes only with this reverse so the date is certain), and good design detail. Late obverse die state with spalling in front of the obverse bust’s mouth. Lighter brown, light obverse scratches, heavier reverse ones, but still attractive with the nice color. A scarce variety.
