| Aanvullende informatie |
John McTurk operated a hardware business in Dumfries, Scotland, and issued this token during the chronic small-change shortage that plagued Britain well into the 1820s and 30s — a problem the Royal Mint repeatedly failed to resolve adequately despite the copper recoinage of 1797. Provincial merchants filled the gap themselves, commissioning tokens from die-sinkers and distributing them locally as functional currency. McTurk's issue is catalogued by Withers, placing it firmly within the documented Scottish token series rather than among the many anonymous or poorly attributed provincial pieces.
