Irish Political Tokens (Nationalist - IRA Counties Stamps)

Counterstamped coins related to the Troubles (1969-1998).|

Apparently, stamped coins were issued for all the original 32 Irish counties. The seller, whose name is unknown to me, claimed to have two complete sets, plus these eight duplicates. He / she told me, vaguely, that they were struck during the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, and were used for propaganda purposes. I was told that the sets weren't sold to raise money for the IRA, but if that were the case, he / she must have known someone who made them in order to acquire such a large number. The seller considered selling me a complete set, but when pressed, never made an offer. I've since lost touch.
