| Description |
There was an effort in Northern Ireland in the 1960s and 70s to ban imports of any kind from Ireland. This is the first of several known slogans I've seen. A second example was reported to me by Dr. Brunk a number of years ago, but I've never seen the coin. The seller found this, and a ?UVF? coin listed here, at an auction on the Isle of Man among a large number of Irish coins. He opines that they were brought over by an Irish family when they moved there. A neatly applied, lightly struck slogan on a coin out of circulation for many years. Purchased from Stevie Gilbert / Armagh, Co. Armagh, N. Ireland. (My. 26, 2018). ($7). |
