Irish Halfpenny 1806

[Coin_Hunter]

I know this is meant to be just British coins, but here is an intriguing halfpenny size token with St. Patrick on one side with the date he started converting the pagan Irish to Christianity, 432 A.D. I just thought maybe someone could show me a reference or tell me something about this coin.

Don't tell the Irish, but actually the British had quite an involvement until ... well, the present day!! And anyway, that interesting piece looks like a product of Boulton's - produced on commission perhaps. To differentiate from currency, they have used the name IRELAND instead of the usual HIBERNIA, but it is strongly reminiscent otherwise of a George III Irish halfpenny.

But I don't know anything more about this specific piece.
