A Happy Day to all!

This is my 1813 one-penny token issued in Strabane, County Tyrone*, by a prominent gentleman named Gerard Irvine. While no records have been found to establish what Mr. Irvine sold, bought or produced, he is listed in the business directories of the era as a merchant.

Nice token. That is pretty decent shape.
Seeing as how you shared in honor of St. Paddys Day, does that mean the town is in Ireland. Congrats.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
