| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicting a sailing vessel in the field, rendered in modest relief consistent with provincial token engraving of the period. The ship motif alludes to maritime commerce and is characteristic of Irish Conder tokens issued by trading concerns. A circular legend surrounding the central device reads INCORPORATED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT 1792, attesting to the legal authority under which the Hibernian Mining Company operated. The overall composition is contained within a plain rim, with the lettering evenly spaced around the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Hibernian Mining Company operated copper workings in County Wicklow during the late eighteenth century, and like many Irish commercial enterprises of the period, resorted to issuing private token coinage when the chronic shortage of official small change made everyday transactions impossible. The Royal Mint in London had almost entirely neglected copper coinage for Ireland since the 1760s, a deliberate policy that left merchants with no practical alternative.
Two distinct die pairings account for the DH#83 and DH#91 references — collectors should verify which variety is present before pricing.
