According to the cataloguer, Harrington Manville, just 25 different examples of the 2 Shillings 6 Pence of Adelphi Cotton Works countermarked half Ecus were recorded. The discovery of the "1792 Day Book" of Adelphi Cotton Work by Eric Hodge provides a more accurate time period in which these were issued based on the values associated with silver at the time of the day book.
