A genuine artefact of Ireland’s WWII experience, these tokens were used in the Curragh Internment Camp in Kildare.
The Republic of Ireland, which maintained neutrality throughout the conflict, interned German and Allied service personnel (mainly airmen) as well as members of the Irish Republican Army.
Scarce, with such tokens traditionally destroyed en masse once the need for internment has ended.
