Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token ½ Penny (Dublin - H S and Co.) 1795 from Ireland is that it was issued during a time of currency shortages in Ireland, particularly in the 1790s. The coin was minted by a private company, H S and Co., and was made of copper. Despite its small denomination, the coin was widely accepted and used in everyday transactions. Today, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
