FEATURED WEB PAGE: IRISH MINING TOKENSThis week's Featured Web Page is on Irish mining company tokens. The halfpenny token illustrated below was issued by the Associated Irish Mine Company for
payment to their employees who were principally engaged in copper mining activities in the Vale Of Avoca in
Southern Ireland. Such commercial tokens were mass-produced during the late eighteenth century by many British
companies at a time when there was a shortage in circulation levels of official coin of the realm.
