Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 30 Pence - George III (Bank of Ireland - Token Coinage) 1808 from Ireland made of Silver is that it was issued during a time when there was a shortage of official currency in Ireland, and private tokens like this one were used as a substitute for official coins.
