Comment
Tea check, Ireland, County Dublin. The tea check is probably a "good-for" token to be presented at the locations listed for a 1/4 pound of tea. Tea was typically packaged in 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 lb. packages for sale by retailers.There is also a 29mm aluminium version with ONE POUND lettering.
