| Reverse description | A conical sugar-loaf and a brandy bottle, both resting upright upon a horizontal shelf line, occupy the central field — the sugar-loaf to the left and the inscribed brandy bottle to the right. The surrounding legend identifies the issuer as TALBORT FYAN GROCER POOLBEG STREET DUBLIN, with the date 1794 and the word BRANDY completing the inscription separated by a five-pointed star. The design is rendered in a plainly struck commercial style typical of late eighteenth-century Irish tradesmen's tokens. |
