5 circular and 3 triangular brass coloured tokens that were used in the Smithfield market.
These tokens were used in Dublin’s fruit market in Smithfield. Tokens such as these would have been common in the city once. Some would have been used when there was an absence of actual coinage, while others would have been used by merchants catering to wealthy customers who disliked handling cash.
