1789 HALFPENNY TOKEN CRONEBANE IRISH

A rare 1789 halfpenny token from Cronebane, Ireland—a distinguished example of late 18th-century Irish trade coinage. Issued during a formative period in Irish commercial history, this token reflects local merchant enterprise and the practical necessity of supplementary currency in provincial Ireland. Cronebane tokens are particularly scarce, making this piece of considerable numismatic interest to collectors of Irish historical currency and regional monetary systems. The token's design and inscriptions provide valuable context for understanding trade patterns and commercial activity in late Georgian Ireland. Authentication should verify period-appropriate striking characteristics and wear patterns. An exceptional specimen for collectors focused on Irish tokens, Celtic numismatics, or the broader history of British Isles trade coinage.
