Solved: Need help with coin

I need help with this coin. It's hard to make everything out. It looks like a copper Spanish reale. the front has carolus iii or iiii. I believe it's a carolus iiii because I can kind of make out a date and I think it's 1808. The weird thing though is that it says Hibernia on the back with a crown underneath, but I have not been able to find a variation where the Hibernia design is on the back of a Carolus coin

Now that I look at it, it does say Georgius, not Carolus. Makes much more sense now. Thank you
