The traders' currency tokens of the Isle of Man were issued in 1668 and between 1811 and 1831 by various issuers. ==John Murrey (1668)== These tokens have the distinction of being the first Manx currency coins. They are denominated as 1 Penny. There are two types, and they are both extremely rare. The obverse of the Type I piece is inscribed 'HIS PENNY I M' within a beaded circle, and 'IOHN MVRREY 1668'. The reverse of this piece has the Triskelion with spurs at heels within a beaded circle. It is inscribed 'QVOCVNQVE GESSERIS STABIT'. The obverse of the Type II piece is inscribed as above, but with 'MVRRAY' instead of 'MVRREY'. The reverse of the Type II piece is inscribed 'OF DOUGLAS IN MAN' within a beaded circle, and inscribed 'QVOCVNQVE GESSERIS STABIT'. Catalogue numbers; *M1D-005 Type I. (KMTn) *M1D-010 Type II.
