Francis Heath, the issuer of these, has not 
been clearly traced, but he carried on business 
just previous to 1800 at No. 2, Bath Street, 
next door to M. Lambe and Son, and being 
opposite to the building, probably accounts 
for his using the newly completed front of 
the Pump Room as a device on his (1795) 
tokens. 
The pence of one trader are sometimes found 
struck over the design of another, proving 
that manufacturers when pressed did not 
wait for fresh blanks, the last piece described, 
is clearly struck over a penny of Halls, 
London (Atkins, Middlesex, 26), and some 
Surrey pence are known struck over the 
common penny of M. Lambe and Sons 
(Bath, 1). 
HALF PENCE.
