Token - 18th century Lancaster/Ireland Mule

Recommended Posts

I picked this up at a local auction today. Obviously not in great condition but appears to be a mule of the John of Gaunt halfpenny with an Ireland halfpenny. I can't find it in Withers as a recognised mule - anyone know any better?

The edge reads "Current Everywhere".

Aha - thanks! Is it 231 then? Does it mention anywhere any varieties of edge lettering?

That is brilliant! So it looks to be DH76, which is good enough for me.

The comment about these being for general circulation suggest that the "Current Everywhere" edge is appropriate.
