Issued by James and Andrew Muir, haberdashers and straw hat manufacturers established in Greenock. This private countermark was applied approximately between 1820 and 1824, in a context of localized shortage of small silver for daily commerce. During those years, the Muir brothers greatly expanded their hat-making and fashion goods business, resorting, like other British merchants of the period, to countermarking foreign silver coinage in order to facilitate local payments and transactions.
The issue ceased to be necessary around 1825, when the stabilization of British currency and the increased availability of official Bank of England silver brought about the disappearance of this type of private countermark. Est...4000,00.

The issuer, John Morris, was a merchant or industrialist active in Great Britain during the height of the Industrial Revolution. As with other early 19th-century British private countermarks, including those of Hurlet, his mark was applied to foreign silver coinage in circulation, chiefly Spanish 8 reales or “Spanish Dollars”, in order to validate these pieces for local use in wage payments and commercial transactions.
Although the host coins generally correspond to issues of the late 18th or early 19th century, this private commercial countermark was applied circa 1814-1815, in the context of the shortage of circulating silver and the monetary pressures caused by the Napoleonic Wars. At that time, the lack of official specie and inflation led to the revaluation of these dollars from the traditional 5 shillings to 5 shillings and 3 pence, the value indicated by the countermark itself.
