Iceland 1 Selsvarardalur token Stóru Selsvör

This intriguing bronze private token, valued at 1 Selsvarardalur, originates from Stóru-Selsvör (a historic farm/area near Reykjavík), Iceland, and dates to the period 1942–1960. Issued privately by Pétur Salómonsson (possibly in connection with local events, studies, or satirical/conflict-related commentary on Icelandic affairs), it represents a rare example of non-official Icelandic exonumia.

Struck in bronze with a plain edge, it shows attractive dark toning. Not legal tender but a fascinating quirky issue reflecting mid-20th-century Icelandic culture, private minting, and ties to the landvættir lore. Highly sought by collectors of Icelandic tokens, private/fantasy issues, mythological designs, or unusual Nordic numismatics.
