Nice old find! Sure looks like 1799 at first but 1792 I think I see.

Great looking coins, I'd sure love to dig one of those here in Canada!
Kudos to Hogtown Hunter & Don for their research too!


Token Ireland Camac (Canac) Halfpenny Conder 1792 to 1794

Conder Tokens were minted in response to British coin shortages in outlying areas. They are named after James Conder who was an early collector and cataloged these interesting coins. Thousands of varieties of tokens were minted, this one is relatively rare, although rarity in this case does not indicate high value. The collector base for Conder tokens is relatively small, and that keeps prices low. There are many varieties of this token. Different spellings and different legends are common, as are inscriptions around the edge of the token.

Thanks for the info guys.
I'll have to recheck that date on coin again tonight. It sure looks like a 9 at first.
