daltonista Pillar of the Community United States 1058 Posts	Posted 03/17/2025 01:51 am Ireland's entire list of silver tokens from the early 19th-century necessity series comprises only three types encompassing eight varieties. This "British Shilling" from my Regency Period collection is actually Irish and was issued in 1804 by the respected Dublin goldsmiths and jewelers Clark, West & Co. There are two countermarks on this piece, a crowned harp on one side and Hibernia seated with a harp on her shield on the other. These are the token's only indications of "Irishness" and were probably added after some confusion about where they actually originated. As rare as this one is, examples without the countermarks are pretty firmly in the forget-about-it category.
