During the 17th century, official money made under the king’s licence was often very scarce and to counteract this some individuals, merchants and borough corporations often issued their own coinage – tokens. These had the issuer’s name or his crest or motto and a statement of what he was – eg, merchant, distiller etc. These pieces were issued between 1650 and 1680 and passed locally as small change. They were readily accepted by locals as they knew the issuers and with virtually no official small change in circulation, the tokens had to suffice. There were 32 different issuers of tokens in Galway city during that time.

On September 22, 1920, 12 Black and Tans burst into the Old Malt Pub on High Street, breaking down the door and rushing upstairs to where Mícheál Walsh’s wife and children were sleeping. They demanded to know Mícheál’s whereabouts and then they searched the building, firing shots, exploding grenades, terrifying the children, and causing extensive damage to the property. They also broke open the safe and stole its contents, as well as taking money from the till in the bar. Clothing, alcohol, and tobacco were also stolen during the raid.
