Half a British Token

Have you ever liked one side of a coin or token so much that the other side just didn't matter?
There's nothing special about the reverse of the Middlesex 218 Conder token, but the way George is decked
out on the obverse knocks me out (and would make Liberace proud!)

But I am a bit confused, MSex 218 depicts Lord Thurlow, not George III. In fact I cannot find that obverse at all.

Who was the engraver of that token?
According to D&H, Wyon prepared the dies for the building series, but it doesn't make specific note of the George III piece stuck at the end.

Amazing detail on a half penny sized token!
