Comment
Numerous obverse, reverse and edge varieties existInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Token ½ Penny (Dublin - Camac Kyan and Camac) 1792-1794 from Ireland is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Ireland, specifically during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. The coin was minted as a substitute for the official British coinage, which was in short supply at the time. The Token ½ Penny was made of copper and had a unique design, featuring the image of a harp on one side and the initials of the mint master on the other. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
