Help ID this 1794 or 5 coin

[Danimal]

A few have suggested Irish origin (probably because of the harp to the right of the seated figure)
I would like to see another representative example if offering an ID.
Thanks!

It is an irish coin, I'm pretty sure- I have a couple newer ones found while roll hunting.

Some one posted one very similar to this a while back, also.

It's an Irish halfpenny trade token. The lettering surrounding the script on the reverse is difficult to read, but it's probably CAMAC KYAN AND CAMAC HALFPENNY. If so, there should also be an inscription around the seated figure of Hibernia with a harp: INCORPORATED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT [date] . Turner Camac, John Howard Kyan, and John Camac were partners in the Hibernian Mine Company (copper mining), which was incorporated in 1792.

Great find. Love a good mystery. I am learning a whole lot going through and reading these.
