Add to album

This is the reverse of a Spainish silver dollar of Charles III used as token coinage by the Galston Friendly Society in Ayrshire. The token dates from the early 19th century.

The reverse includes a crowned shield of arms.

Counter-stamped dollars were captured foreign coins, counter-stamped and re-issued to make up for the shortage of British official coinage.
