It was struck in 1760 by John Roche. Of King Street in Dublin.

It may or may not have circulated in Colonial America. In 1760 there was a shortage of copper coins in Ireland so John Roche, of King Street, made and issued Farthing and Halfpenny tokens. Since they were made of good metal they were accepted and welcomed in commerce.

But, on August 29, The Lord Mayor, John Tew, offered a reward for the. "Tinkers, Copper Smiths and other persons". That were making these tokens.

One Edward Barry was committed to Newgate and made to stand in the pillory with a paper on his front and back announcing his crime. John Roche had his apparatus for striking coins confiscated but further proceedings were halted by his death on September 24, 1760. "Standard Catalog of World Coins".
