* 1781 North American token

[Relicific]

This week I found a few early coppers, but this one was a nice surprise.I never heard of this token before so I had a little reading to do.
This N.A. Token was minted in Ireland around 1810-30 and not in 1781.
It was back dated to evade Canadian import laws at the time and it
mostly circulated in America near the Canadian border.

I had never seen nor heard of those but, now I want one. Probably none ever made their way this far south though. That is a really nice find!
