    About MeHalfpenny-size token with a monogram on one side and the words 'Aberdeen Token'; the other side depicts a ruined castle. This is one of a series of tokens issued by a dealer named Denton of Smithfield, London; it has no real connection with Aberdeen.

    The widespread use of trade tokens in Britain in the late 18th century encouraged interest in collecting them. Some enterprising dealers began to issue tokens purely for sale to collectors.
